What we supply in Riyadh
- Ceremonial grade for whisked tea: first-harvest (ichibancha) tencha from Uji and Shirakawa in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, shaded for 28–35 days under traditional straw canopies and stone-milled to about 5–8 microns, for usucha and koicha with deep umami and no bitterness.
- Culinary grade for lattes and baking: second-flush tencha from Uji and Wazuka, shaded for 21 days and stone-milled to about 10 microns, with a robust umami that comes through milk, ice, ice cream and pastry.
- Japanese provenance: both matchas are Japanese, grown and stone-milled in Kyoto Prefecture, where Uji has been one of Japan's best-known tea regions for centuries.
- For a home café in Riyadh: whisk about 2 g of ceremonial matcha into 70 ml of water at around 80 °C for usucha; for an iced matcha latte, whisk 2–3 g of culinary matcha with a little water, then pour over milk and ice.
- Delivered or wholesale: online orders are delivered to your door in Riyadh and across the GCC, with prices in AED (currently from AED 110). Cafés and hotels buying matcha in volume get wholesale pricing quoted per order.
- Why it fits Riyadh: the city's fast-growing specialty café scene has made matcha lattes a menu staple, and cafés compete on origin and grade. A named Uji origin and a whisking-grade ceremonial matcha set a menu apart.

Getting it to Riyadh
Online orders are delivered to your door in Riyadh and across Saudi Arabia, with prices in AED (currently from AED 110); the dirham and the riyal are both pegged to the US dollar, so AED 1 is about SAR 1.02. Café volumes are quoted per order.
Food in the Kingdom, including matcha, is regulated by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), and prepackaged food needs Arabic labelling. Ask any supplier, including us, to confirm each product's registration and label language before it goes on sale. Saudi VAT is 15%. The matcha is Japanese-origin, so its duty and paperwork differ from those for our Indian-origin coffee; ask your customs broker before a volume shipment.
Matcha is heat-sensitive, so ask for it to travel and be stored cool through the Gulf summer, and order in quantities you will use within a few weeks of opening. Plan café stock ahead of Ramadan and the winter Riyadh Season events calendar.

Questions from Riyadh buyers
Where can I buy ceremonial matcha in Riyadh?
Online at thefalconhouse.com, delivered to your door in Riyadh. Prices are listed in AED, currently from AED 110 (about SAR 1.02 per dirham). Our ceremonial grade is first-harvest Uji matcha from Kyoto, stone-milled for whisking.
What is the best matcha for whisking at home in Riyadh?
A ceremonial grade made from first-harvest leaves. Ours is ichibancha tencha from Uji and Shirakawa, shaded for 28–35 days and stone-milled to about 5–8 microns, so it whisks into a smooth, sweet, umami-rich bowl without bitterness. Use the culinary grade for lattes and baking.
What is the difference between ceremonial and culinary matcha?
Ceremonial matcha is made from the youngest first-harvest leaves and is meant to be whisked with water and drunk on its own. Culinary matcha comes from a later harvest, with a stronger, slightly bitter edge that holds up in milk, ice cream and pastry. Ours are both from Uji in Kyoto Prefecture.
Is your matcha from Uji, Japan?
Yes. The ceremonial grade comes from Uji and Shirakawa and the culinary grade from Uji and Wazuka, all in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and both are stone-milled in Kyoto.
Do you sell wholesale matcha to cafés in Riyadh?
Yes. Email [email protected] with your outlets in Riyadh, the drinks on your menu and your expected monthly usage, and we will quote wholesale pricing and lead times. Most cafés use culinary grade for lattes and keep ceremonial grade for whisked matcha.
Is your matcha organic?
Our product listings do not claim organic certification. If you need certified organic matcha for your menu or for a retail shelf, ask us before ordering and we will tell you what documentation is available.
How should I store matcha in the Saudi Arabia heat?
Keep it sealed, cool and away from light. Matcha loses its colour and flavour with heat, light and air, so refrigerate it after opening, let it come to room temperature before opening the pack to avoid condensation, and use it within a few weeks.
Do you deliver matcha across Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Online orders are delivered to your door in Riyadh, Jeddah and elsewhere in Saudi Arabia, with prices in AED (about SAR 1.02 per dirham). Café volumes are quoted per order.
