Summary
A rare opportunity to acquarie a boutique first-harvest Japanese matcha and hojicha brand with an established online store, an active wholesale client book and mobile vehicle used for events/markets.
Potential
Significant room to grow: expand wholesale distribution beyond the current stockist base, increase mobile vehicle bookings for corporate and private events, build out paid social and influencer marketing on an already engaged following, and introduce subscription or repeat-purchase offers for the online store. There is also scope to extend the product range (ready-to-drink formats, café partnerships, private label) and to grow interstate online sales beyond the current WA-heavy customer base.
Skills
No formal qualifications required. Helpful skills: e-commerce/website management (Squarespace), social media & content creation, basic customer service, and enjoying market/event days. Some matcha knowledge is a bonus but not essential. Current owners will provide full handover, supplier introductions and hands-on training to ensure a smooth transition for a new owner.
Hours
Flexible. Order fulfilment currently done part-time Events mainly weekends varying seasonally with bookings.
Lease
No lease. Fully home-based - stock stored and van garaged. No commercial premises costs.
Employees
None. Owner-operated by the two directors only - no employees or contractors currently engaged.
Reason for Sale
The two directors are moving on to other commitments and are looking for the right buyer to take the brand forward. The business is profitable at the trading level and has a loyal customer base, an active wholesale book and a stand-out physical presence at events - it simply needs an owner ready to dedicate time to growing it further.
About the Business
A boutique premium Japanese tea business combining an established online store with a highly visible mobile events presence - a rare combination for a business at this price point.
The business sells first-harvest, ceremonial-grade matcha and hojicha sourced directly from family farms in Japan, along with accessories and gift sets, through its own e-commerce website. It has an existing customer database, a strong 5-star review history and an engaged social media following.
Alongside online retail, the business supplies a number of wholesale trade accounts (cafes and retailers), and operates a unique mobile serving vehicle that attends markets, festivals, private functions and corporate events - generating both direct sales and brand exposure.
Included in the sale: the online store and website, all stock on hand (including pre-paid inventory), the wholesale client book, the mobile event vehicle and equipment, supplier relationships with partner farms, and all brand and marketing assets.
Genuinely turn-key - a new owner can step straight in, or use the existing foundations (online, wholesale and events) to scale further. Full financial statements, stock listing and vehicle details provided to qualified buyers under NDA.
History
Founded in 2024 while living and travelling in Europe, and wanted to bring the same experience home. The business built direct relationships with family-run tea farms in Japan, launched an online store, then expanded into wholesale supply and a custom mobile serving vehicle for markets and events - growing from a personal passion project into an established small brand.
