Nine Peaks is the dependable, ceremonial-grade alternative — built for cafes that can’t run out.

The line

Three ceremonial tiers, made for milk.

Every Nine Peaks grade is ceremonial — stone-milled, vibrant green, low in bitterness, and engineered to hold its color and character in a latte.

The source

From select high-mountain gardens.

Shade-grown leaf, picked at altitude and stone-milled in small batches — then air-freighted, so what lands on your bar is fresh, vivid, and ready to pour.

Why Nine Peaks

The quality cafes want, without the Japanese tax.

01

Vivid, latte-ready color

Bright, stable green that survives steamed milk and ice — drinks that photograph as good as they taste.

02

Balanced, not grassy

Low bitterness and clean finish that pairs with oat and dairy without turning vegetal.

03

Reliable supply

Consistent grade-to-grade availability with 10–15 day air freight — no six-month waits.

04

Meaningful savings

Ceremonial grade priced under Japanese ceremonial wholesale — a cafe using 5 kg/mo can save ~$1,100/yr.

Wholesale pricing

Pricing built for switching.

Ceremonial grade across three tiers, landed and ready to pour — priced below Japanese ceremonial wholesale, which now runs $150–250+/kg before the six-month wait.

Per-kilo pricing and volume breaks are shared on the line card. Request it here
