ANCHOR Cafe is a warm-referral prospect surfaced through Marcus, who vouched for the introduction and authorized contact to anchorcafe@gmail.com (email received 2026-07-16). An introduction email was sent to anchorcafe@gmail.com on 2026-07-17.

Follow-Up on Complementary Matcha Tasting
Hi,
This is Kai from Verdant Matcha Co., a Japan-based matcha company. We offer highly price-competitive matcha without compromising quality by working directly with local production partners.
I visited your shop and enjoyed your matcha drink!
We would really love for your cafe team to try our matcha during this visit, as it is a great opportunity to explore a range of Japanese matcha from different regions and harvest timings without having to travel to Japan.
No worries at all if you are not actively looking to change your current matcha sourcing partner. The session can simply be a learning experience for your team, and you may discover a matcha your customers would love or find inspiration for new drink ideas.
Please let me know if your team would be interested.
Looking forward to seeing you!

Hi,
This is Kai. I am from a Japan-based matcha company and am currently visiting New York with a selection of Japanese matcha samples.
I tried your matcha strawberry and really enjoyed it. I believe a nuttier, more aromatic matcha could make it even more distinctive for your customers.
Would you and your team be interested in a complimentary tasting?
There is no pressure to change suppliers. It can simply be an opportunity to explore new flavors and drink ideas.
Please let me know if you’re interested. I’m also happy to connect via WhatsApp.
