FAQ untuk pembeli OEM

Q. What is the MOQ and lead time for export-grade mugicha?

Industry-typical MOQ is 100–500 kg for loose roasted barley or tea bag inserts, with 4–8 week lead times. Custom blends (with brown rice, hatomugi / Job's tears, or buckwheat), tea-bag conversion, and private-label printing add 2–4 weeks. Crop seasonality (June barley harvest in major prefectures) creates an annual cycle: most roasting houses prefer to roast against the current year's crop, and supply can tighten in late spring before new harvest.

Q. Which prefectures are major barley producers?

Tochigi is consistently the top six-row barley producer in Japan, followed by Saitama, Fukuoka, and Saga, per MAFF crop statistics. Hokkaido produces a substantial share of two-row (malting) barley but most mugicha is made from six-row barley. Specific cultivar (six-row vs. two-row) affects aroma profile — confirm with supplier.

Q. What COA parameters and certifications should I request?

Standard COA: moisture, color value (roast indicator), microbiological limits (focus on aerobic plate count and yeast/mold given grain product), heavy metals, pesticide residues against destination-market MRLs, mycotoxin testing (deoxynivalenol DON, ochratoxin A — both barley-relevant), and acrylamide if dark-roasted. JAS Organic certification is available from several producers; non-GMO statement standard for Japanese-produced barley.

Q. How should mugicha be packaged for export?

Loose roasted barley is typically supplied in 5–10 kg multi-layer paper / poly-laminate bags inside cartons. Tea-bag (cold-brew) format is the strongest growth segment for export — request individually-foil-wrapped pyramid bags or strip-pack flat bags for convenience. Specify shelf life and maximum cumulative temperature exposure for tropical-destination shipping; aroma loss accelerates above 25 °C.
