Ryokusen Matcha

Variant

This limited release matcha comes to Kettl by way of our partnership with Yamamasa Koyamaen, a distinguished tea maker based in Uji. 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. Ryokusen is a verdant and expressive matcha with a balanced profile that cuts through milk for the perfect latte.

The Koyama Family

Masayoshi Koyama represents the fifth generation of one of Uji’s most respected tea-making families and their operation Yamamasa Koyamaen. His approach to blending is precise, expressive, and rooted in deep tradition—resulting in Matcha that is not only technically exceptional, but emotionally resonant.

Uji is a region with a distinctive tea-making tradition, and we deeply value the perspective Yamamasa Koyamaen brings to their teas. Their Matcha often carries a gentle nuttiness, a soft, rounded finish, and a remarkably refined fragrance—hallmarks of their careful craftsmanship and blending expertise. Yamamasa Koyamaen's teas are regularly recognized at the All Japan Tea Judging Competitions and are favored by tea ceremony schools, Michelin-starred chefs, and global connoisseurs alike.

An unwavering commitment to quality.
