What Makes Kyoto Teien Different?

We believe exceptional matcha should be approachable.

Kyoto Teien was carefully put together to appeal to both dedicated matcha enthusiasts and those discovering matcha for the first time. Its balanced profile offers the depth and complexity expected of premium ceremonial-grade matcha without the harsh bitterness often found in lower-quality teas.

Crafted from first-harvest tencha and traditionally stone-milled, Kyoto Teien delivers exceptional color, flavor, and consistency in every cup.

Why Ceremonial Grade Matters

Ceremonial-grade matcha begins with the youngest and most carefully selected tea leaves.

Before harvest, the tea plants are shade-grown to increase chlorophyll and naturally occurring amino acids, contributing to matcha's vibrant color, smooth character, and rich flavor profile.

The leaves are then processed into tencha and traditionally stone-milled into an exceptionally fine powder, creating a matcha intended to be enjoyed on its own rather than used primarily for cooking or baking.

How to Prepare

Traditional Matcha

• 1 teaspoon (2g) matcha
• 6 oz hot water (160°F–175°F)

Sift matcha into a bowl, add a small amount of water, and whisk vigorously in a "W" motion until smooth and frothy. Add the remaining water and continue whisking until a fine foam forms.

Matcha Latte

Whisk matcha with a small amount of water until smooth, then combine with steamed or iced milk of your choice.

Naturally Energizing

Because matcha is consumed as a finely milled tea leaf rather than steeped and discarded, it contains naturally occurring antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.

Many people enjoy matcha for its unique blend of caffeine and L-theanine, which provides calm, focused energy without the jitters or sharp crashes often associated with coffee.
