👉 Is Senchoju Legit? How We Source Authentic Japanese Matcha

Q1: Is Senchoju legit?

Yes, Senchoju is a registered Canadian business specializing in authentic Japanese matcha.

Every product we sell is sourced through verified Japanese trading partners, sealed at origin, and stored under controlled temperature in Vancouver before shipping to customers.

We focus on transparency, authenticity, and accessible ceremonial-grade quality for everyone.

 

Q2: Are you an authorized seller for the matcha brands you offer?

We’re an independent curator rather than an “authorized reseller.”

Many traditional Japanese tea houses limit official distribution within Japan.

That doesn’t make their teas elsewhere inauthentic — it simply reflects how Japan’s tea trade works.

Our role is to bring those authentic experiences abroad with respect and care.

 

Q3: How can I be sure the matcha is authentic?

All our matcha is imported directly from Kyoto and Uji through licensed trading channels.

Each product has a traceable lot number and original Japanese packaging.

Customers can always request proof of origin or packaging photos — we’re happy to provide transparency.

Q4: Why don’t some brands list international resellers?

In Japan, “authorization” usually means domestic dealership rights, not product authenticity.

Most premium tea houses sell mainly within Japan, so overseas curation often happens through trading companies rather than direct brand agreements.

This structure keeps their brand heritage intact while still allowing authentic tea to reach enthusiasts worldwide.

 

Q5: What is Senchoju’s commitment to quality?

Our philosophy is simple: authenticity = origin + storage + respect.

We buy genuine Japanese matcha, store it properly, and never compromise freshness.

Each package you receive represents that promise.
