This matcha is produced by Marukyu Koyamaen, one of Japan’s most esteemed tea producers with more than 320 years of history in Uji, Kyoto.
It is specially selected for the Enshū School of Tea, a tradition founded by Lord Kobori Enshū, a samurai, artist, and master of refined aesthetics in the early 17th century.
A Taste that Reflects the Enshū Style
The Enshū School is known for its elegant, dignified, and beautifully balanced approach to tea.
To harmonize with this style, this matcha features:
-
a clear, refined aroma
-
a smooth umami balanced with gentle bitterness
-
a clean, crisp aftertaste
-
a bright, vivid green color
The flavor is graceful—neither too strong nor too mild—and expresses the Enshū ideal of “kirei-sabi” (a beauty that is both polished and quietly understated).
Tea Leaves from the Heart of Uji
Marukyu Koyamaen carefully shades and hand-selects tea leaves grown in Uji, Kyoto, Japan’s most historically significant matcha region.
The leaves are slowly stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder for a silky texture and elegant finish.
For Ceremony and Everyday Appreciation
Although chosen for use in the Enshū School’s tea practices, this matcha can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates a refined, well-balanced flavor.
Its dignified yet approachable taste makes it suitable for both ceremonial use and daily matcha preparation.
