Returns & Refunds

Vale Satisfaction Promise

We want you to love your matcha. If something is wrong with your order, or your first experience is not what you hoped for, contact us within 30 days of the shipping label date at support@valematcha.com and we will do our best to make it right.

Unopened Products

Unopened products in their original packaging may be returned within 30 days of the shipping label date for a refund to your original payment method. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect.

Opened Matcha

Because matcha is a fresh food product, opened tins, pouches, and blends are not eligible for a cash refund based on taste preference alone. If you are a first-time customer having trouble enjoying your matcha, reach out - we may offer preparation tips, a one-time replacement, or store credit at our discretion.

How to Initiate a Return

To start a return or request a refund, email us at support@valematcha.com with:

  • Your order number
  • The item(s) you would like to return or get a refund for
  • The reason for the return

Our team will respond within 1-2 business days with instructions.

Refund Processing

Once we receive and inspect your return (if applicable), we will process your refund within 5-7 business days. Refunds are issued to the original payment method. Please allow an additional 3-5 business days for the refund to appear on your statement, depending on your bank or payment provider.

Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us within 30 days of the shipping label date at support@valematcha.com with your order number and a photo of the issue. We will replace the item or issue a refund at no cost to you.

Fair Use

Our Satisfaction Promise is intended for genuine product issues and first-time experience concerns. We reserve the right to decline refund, replacement, or store credit requests in cases of suspected fraud, repeated claims, excessive use before a request, or other abuse of this policy.

Subscription Orders

Subscription orders follow the same return and refund policy. You can pause, skip, or cancel your subscription at any time from your account settings. Cancellations take effect before the next billing cycle.
