Shunka Matcha
$68.00
Variant
We are honored to present a curated selection of matcha from the esteemed 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. Shunka is a peerless, Koicha Matcha with an exceptional profile and presence on the palate. A distinct dark chocolate note emerges, balanced by a cocoa-like sweetness and a soft, lingering finish.

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.
