Thank you for shopping with Orin Matcha Tea.
We care deeply about product quality and customer satisfaction. This Refund & Return Policy explains when and how you can request a refund, replacement, or return for your order.
1. Eligibility for Refunds & Returns
You may request a refund or replacement if:
-
You received a damaged, defective, or opened product.
-
You received the wrong item.
-
The package was lost or never delivered.
Due to the nature of food and beverage products, we cannot accept returns for items that have been opened, used, or partially consumed, except in cases of quality defects.
2. Timeframe for Requests
To ensure a smooth process, all refund or replacement requests must be submitted within:
-
48 hours after receiving your order, or
-
48 hours after the expected delivery date if the package was not delivered.
Requests submitted after the stated timeframe may not be eligible.

Opened or used matcha tea products

Accessories that show signs of use

If the return is due to an error on our side (incorrect item, damaged product), we cover all shipping costs.

If the return request is due to a change of mind or customer error, the customer is responsible for return shipping, and the item must remain unopened and unused.
