Collaboration with Farms in China and Japan Positions Reborn as a Leading Matcha Distributor in Asia
BREA, Calif., April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reborn Coffee Inc. (Nasdaq: REBN), a leader in the specialty coffee market, today announced that Reborn China has established its Central China Supply Chain Headquarters in Dawu County, a region widely recognized for its excellence in tea cultivation and matcha production.
As part of this expansion, Reborn China will oversee the sourcing and distribution of all matcha-based products throughout Asia and the UAE, in partnership with a prominent agricultural group that operates matcha farms and manufacturing facilities through a China-Japan joint venture. This collaboration ensures consistent access to high-quality matcha from two of the world’s most respected production regions.
Only China, Japan, and Korea are globally recognized as producers of authentic matcha. By leveraging trusted sources from these regions—especially premium Japanese matcha—Reborn China is positioned to introduce a new standard of quality and scale in the global matcha market.

Also in attendance were Wang Zhengzhong and Jia Ruo from the Reborn Coffee Greater China Operations team, who are overseeing the execution of the partnership.
Reborn Coffee extends its sincere gratitude to the Dawu County government for their leadership and support in making this partnership possible. Their commitment to fostering international collaboration and promoting regional agricultural excellence has laid a strong foundation for Reborn China’s long-term growth.

Through this initiative, Reborn will deliver matcha products across key Asian markets including Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Korea, while also utilizing Dubai and Malaysia as regional distribution gateways.
