Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen for the Yabunouchi School

This matcha is produced by Marukyu Koyamaen, one of Japan’s most respected tea producers with over 320 years of history in Uji, Kyoto.
It is specially selected for use in the Yabunouchi School, a traditional school of Japanese tea ceremony known for its calm, refined, and Zen-influenced style.

A Flavor That Reflects the Yabunouchi Aesthetic

Yabunouchi tea emphasizes subtlety, harmony, and quiet elegance.
To match this spirit, this blend is crafted to offer:

• a soft, rounded umami

• a clean, gentle sweetness

• a smooth texture with very little bitterness

• a balanced, understated aroma

It is not overly intense or bitter; instead, it delivers a refined, peaceful taste that mirrors the school’s approach to tea.

Hand-Selected Tea Leaves from Uji, Kyoto

Marukyu Koyamaen uses carefully shaded tea leaves grown in the historic tea fields of Uji.
The leaves are stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder, preserving their vibrant green color and fresh aroma.

Suitable for Ceremony and Everyday Enjoyment

Although created for the Yabunouchi School’s tea gatherings, this matcha can be enjoyed by anyone.
Its smooth, mild character makes it approachable for beginners and deeply satisfying for experienced matcha drinkers.
