Kettl is proud to host Masayoshi Koyama, the director of Yamamasa Koyamaen, one of Uji’s most reputable matcha producers, in our brand new, private tasting room at Kettl Matcha Sen Mon Ten. The roots of Yamamasa Koyamaen trace back to the early 1600s, when the Koyama family began cultivating and producing tea in the Uji region. Since then, they have spent centuries perfecting the art of Uji tea production. We have partnered with the Koyama family for years, bringing their peerless blends to a wider audience at Kettl. These exclusive and limited events with Masayoshi Koyama are the first in our new Kettl Producer Series, where we will be hosting our closest collaborators in New York for classes, lectures, and immersive experiences.
