Products and Matcha

What is the difference between Premium Matcha 50g and Barista Matcha 100g?

Premium Matcha 50g is finer and higher in umami, suitable for drinking with water or preparing a luxurious latte. Barista Matcha 100g has a clearer flavor with milk and sweeteners, suitable for lattes and daily recipes.

How do I choose the right type?

For direct consumption or for those who prefer a smooth taste with little bitterness, we recommend Premium Matcha. For lattes, recipes, and daily use, Barista Matcha is often more suitable. You can contact us via WhatsApp for a quick recommendation.

Where does Tora Matcha come from?

Tora Matcha is sourced from Japan, and current grades include products from Shizuoka. The origin, harvest, and grade are displayed on each product page.

Does matcha contain sugar or additives?

Our pure matcha products are 100% matcha green tea powder with no sugar, flavors, or additives, unless a specific product page states otherwise.

How much matcha is suitable per cup?

Typically, 2 to 3 grams are used per cup. This can be adjusted based on the drink size and desired taste intensity.

How do I prepare matcha?

Sift 2–3 grams of matcha, add a small amount of water at approximately 70–80°C, then whisk until a smooth foam appears. After that, it can be drunk with water or milk can be added.

How do I maintain the color and taste after opening the package?

Seal the package tightly and store it in a cool, dry place away from light, heat, humidity, and strong odors. Use a dry spoon and avoid leaving the package open.

Does matcha contain caffeine?

Yes, matcha naturally contains caffeine, and the amount varies depending on the dose and product. Those sensitive to caffeine or with specific health conditions are advised to monitor their intake and consult a specialist if needed.

Ordering and Payment

How do I know my order was successful?

After successful order completion, a confirmation appears in the store, and a message is sent to the registered contact information. If payment was deducted but no confirmation was received, contact us and send the transaction time and the last four digits of the payment reference if available, without sending full card details.

What payment methods are available?

Available payment methods are displayed directly on the payment page and may vary by country, device, and order value. The methods shown at checkout are the ones approved for that order.

Do prices include tax?

Product values, taxes, and any known fees are clearly displayed before payment is completed. The final amount shown on the payment page is the approved amount for the order.

Can more than one discount code be used?

This depends on the offer terms. Usually, only one discount code can be combined per order, unless the store states otherwise.

Can an order be modified or canceled?

Modification or cancellation can be requested before processing begins or before the order is handed over to the shipping company. Contact us immediately via WhatsApp with the order number. After processing or shipping begins, modification or cancellation may not be possible.

Can the delivery address be modified?

The address can be requested for modification before shipping. After the order is handed over to the shipping company, modification depends on the shipping company's capabilities and may cause delays or additional fees.

Shipping and Delivery

How long does order processing take?

Most orders are processed within 24 hours after order and payment confirmation. Orders placed on official holidays or during peak periods may begin processing on the next business day.

How long does delivery take within Saudi Arabia?

Is there express delivery within Riyadh?

An express delivery option, up to two hours, may appear within some areas of Riyadh, depending on the delivery address, order time, and operational capacity. The option is not considered available unless it appears on the payment page.

Do you ship to Gulf countries?

Yes, shipping options are available to supported Gulf countries, and the usual duration is less than 7 business days after shipping. Available countries, methods, and costs are displayed when you enter your address.

How do I track my order?

After the order is shipped, tracking details are sent to the registered email or mobile number or via the channel used by the shipping company. The link may take several hours to show the first update.

Why is the order delayed beyond the estimated time?

Delays may occur due to holidays, seasons, weather conditions, remote areas, or operational and customs circumstances. Send your order number via WhatsApp, and we will follow up with the shipping company.

Are there customs fees on Gulf orders?

The receiving country may impose customs duties, taxes, or clearance fees. The recipient is responsible for these fees if any, unless the payment page indicates they are paid as part of the order value.

Where can I find the full shipping policy?

All details can be reviewed in the Shipping and Delivery Policy.

Returns, Issues, and Customer Service

Can matcha or food products be returned?

Food products are not returned due to a change of mind after delivery to maintain quality and safety. Cases are processed if the product arrived damaged, seal broken, wrong, missing, or unfit for consumption.

What is the period for submitting an exchange or return request?

The request must be submitted within 3 days from the date of purchase according to the approved store policy. This period does not detract from any mandatory right granted to the consumer by law.

My order arrived damaged, missing, or different, what should I do?

Contact us as soon as possible and send your order number, a picture of the outer packaging, the shipping label, and photos or a video illustrating the problem. After verification, we will provide the appropriate solution via exchange, re-shipment, compensation, or refund.

Who bears the cost of return shipping?

Tora bears the necessary costs when the order arrives damaged, incorrect, or incomplete due to the store or shipping. If a change of mind occurs for an eligible non-food product, the customer bears the cost of return shipping unless the system requires otherwise.

When will the refunded amount arrive?

After the case is approved or the return is inspected, we begin processing the refund within 5 business days. The bank or payment provider usually needs an additional 5 to 14 business days for the amount to appear in the account.

Where can I find the full exchange and return policy?

The terms and procedures can be reviewed in detail in the Exchange, Return, and Refund Policy.
