Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen for the Sōhen School of Tea

This matcha is produced by Marukyu Koyamaen, a renowned tea maker from Uji, Kyoto, with more than 320 years of history.
It is specially selected for the Sōhen School of Tea, founded by Yamada Sōhen, a disciple of Sen no Rikyū’s tradition who emphasized simplicity, sincerity, and an accessible form of tea for everyday life.

A Taste That Reflects the Sōhen Spirit

The Sōhen School is known for its warm, approachable style—simple, sincere, and rooted in everyday hospitality rather than formality.
To match this character, this blend offers:

• a gentle, well-rounded umami

• a soft bitterness that feels balanced and natural

• a smooth, easy-to-drink texture

• a fresh, calm aroma

It is not overpowering; instead, it aims for harmony, ease, and a sense of quiet comfort.

Crafted from Premium Uji Tea Leaves

The tea leaves are carefully shaded before harvest and stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder, creating a bright green matcha with a clean, refreshing flavor.
Marukyu Koyamaen’s craftsmanship ensures consistency, clarity, and elegance in every bowl.
