We are temporarily closed as we are completely out of our matcha stock.
Learn more below.
Why? What happened?
We are completely out of our previous matcha stock, which has run out so quickly because of your amazing and growing support!
We needed our restock shipment much sooner than anticipated and our supplier informed us that we could expect upward of a two week delay in receiving the order because of some unexpected congestion at customs—due to new tariffs and regulations which mat causing shipping delays for some international orders—as the product is unable to reach their fulfillment center in a timely manner.
Running out of our matcha sooner than anticipated + this unexpected delay in our restock has resulted in a tough situation as our matcha-based menu items and products make up about 90% of our sales.
How does this immediately impact Matcha Thomas?
As a matcha shop, this is our primary product, so this situation, compounded with existing financial challenges due to continuous inflation and supply chain issues, immediately impacts our overhead costs, bills, and the wages and livelihood of our incredible staff.
In order to float through this temporary closure, we are asking for the community’s support in helping us cover our staff’s lost wages for the next two weeks, pay our most urgent bills, have a buffer for next month’s rent (as we will have matcha again by the end of the month), and strengthen our matcha supply for when we return.
We truly believe in the power of community. We hope to raise a minimum of $20k to support Matcha Thomas through this time. Any contribution means the world. (And we’re nearly halfway to our goal, we’ve raised over $9k thanks to your amazing support!)
