Kanbayashi Shunsho Kyo Matcha – Smooth, Sweet Kyoto Ceremonial Matcha with Gentle Umami

Elegant, balanced, and easy to drink — Kanbayashi Shunsho Kyo Matcha is a premium ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, one of Japan’s historic tea houses known for refined Kyoto-style blends. Kyo Matcha delivers a harmonious flavor experience with soft sweetness, clean aroma, and smooth umami, making it ideal for both daily usucha and mindful tea rituals.

Shade-grown tea leaves are carefully stone-ground into a fine, vibrant powder that whisks into a silky froth. Its flavor is smooth, lightly nutty, and naturally sweet, with almost no bitterness — reflecting the gentle, approachable style that Kyoto matcha is loved for.
