The vendor states its hojicha powder is crafted and packaged fresh in Kyoto by small independent tea farms in Kyoto prefecture, and the about page lists a Safe Food for Canadians licence consistent with an importer. The madeinca.ca directory claims blending and packaging in Toronto, but the vendor's own product page contradicts it, so no Canadian manufacturing share is credited.

The registered office and both directors are in Ancaster, Ontario, and press releases carry a Toronto dateline, so the business is treated as a single Canadian site. No employee count or staff locations were published, and the New York dateline on a 2023 trademark release was not treated as evidence of US staff.
