Evaluate Product Fit, Documents and Inventory Risk
Review the product role, target price, document package, packaging format, inventory exposure, and reorder cycle before committing to a portfolio.
| Review Area | Key Questions | Commercial Risk Reduced |
|---|---|---|
| Product Positioning | Are applications and price tiers clearly separated? | Avoids portfolio overlap and customer confusion |
| Documentation | Are current COA, specifications and certificates available? | Supports customer qualification and import review |
| MOQ & Packaging | Do formats match customer demand and inventory turnover? | Reduces slow-moving stock and repacking cost |
| Supply Stability | Can the approved product be repeated across future orders? | Protects customer consistency and replenishment |
| Logistics | Are lead time, Incoterms, cartons and export files clear? | Improves landed-cost and delivery planning |
WHOLESALE FORMATS
Choose Supply Formats for Wholesale, Foodservice and Retail
The supply format should reflect customer type, inventory turnover, freshness requirements, local packing capabilities, and freight efficiency.
Foodservice & Bulk Bags
For cafés, food manufacturers, repacking, and high-volume ingredient handling.
1 Kg Wholesale Pouches
Practical for foodservice customers, regional resellers, and smaller commercial users.
Retail & Private Label
Market-ready tins, pouches, sachets, and customized branding for local sales channels.
Export Cartons & Custom Packs
Coordinate pack size, cartons, labeling, pallet planning, and selected custom formats around the distribution model and MOQ.
REPEAT SUPPLY PLANNING
Plan Inventory and Reorder Cycles
Share rolling forecasts, seasonal demand, stock levels, and customer feedback. Repeat supply is more stable when the approved specifications, packaging, and reorder triggers are documented.
- Keep approved product specifications on file
- Plan safety stock around production and transit time
- Separate trial inventory from repeat-order volume
- Review market feedback before expanding the range

PURCHASING CHECKPOINTS
Build a Distributor Order That Can Be Traced and Reordered
Your downstream customers need more than a grade label. Define what each SKU does, what is inside each case and how a replacement or new lot will be approved.
| Decision | What to Define | Approval or Quote Check |
|---|---|---|
| Customer role | Drinking, café, culinary or industrial application | Keep each SKU linked to an approved sample and product specification. |
| Order line | Net kg, units per case and minimum per SKU | Confirm mixed-order eligibility without treating total shipment kg as every item minimum. |
| Downstream documentation | Lot code, storage, label and requested reports | Ensure case and inner-pack identity can be matched to the relevant supplied lot. |
| Delivery and reorders | Destination, freight basis and demand by SKU | Compare landed costs and discuss substitutions before changing a stocked product. |
DISTRIBUTOR FAQ
Wholesale Matcha Questions for Distributors
Portfolio, MOQ, packaging, documentation, certification scope, freight, and repeat-order planning are confirmed by product and market.
How should stock records handle more than one lot of the same grade?
Keep the received quantity, lot reference, relevant dates and quality-file version for each receipt. Link customer dispatches to the supplied lot rather than replacing earlier lot records with the newest COA. Agree the traceability information required on packs and cartons before ordering.
What documents help me answer downstream buyer questions?
Agree the product specification, storage and shelf-life information, batch COA scope and any applicable certificate copies before ordering. Keep the supplied lot number with the related documents rather than sending an unrelated example COA.
Can a similar-looking grade be substituted on a repeat order?
Treat a different product code or specification as a new approval. Test its relevant application, review documents and packing, and agree the change before offering it as a replacement to customers.
Can distributors order several matcha grades?
Yes. A multi-product order may be planned around different applications and price tiers. MOQ, packing, and production requirements should be confirmed for each item.
Can you provide samples for customer testing?
Yes. Share the intended customer segments and applications so the sample set reflects the planned portfolio rather than unrelated products.
Are organic and Halal options available?
Certified options may be available. Verify the current certificate, product scope, operator, market, and transaction before making claims or offering the item to customers.
What wholesale packaging formats are available?
Formats may include bulk foil bags, 1 kg pouches, foodservice packs, tins, retail pouches, and private label packaging depending on product and quantity.
How do repeat orders maintain consistency?
Use an approved specification, reference samples, batch COA review, forecast planning, and documented packaging requirements. Natural agricultural variation should still be considered.
