Kanza by Ippodo Tea – A Rare Winter Harvest, Perfected

Step into something extraordinary with Kanza, a limited-edition winter-harvest matcha from Kyoto’s legendary Ippodo Tea, now available at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the famed tea fields of Uji, this premium matcha is crafted from tea leaves picked during the coldest months of the year—resulting in a uniquely rich and smooth flavor profile.

Kanza delivers a deep, velvety umami with minimal bitterness and a naturally creamy sweetness that sets it apart. Its aroma is soft and refined, and the texture is lusciously smooth, making it a stunning choice for mindful rituals and elevated matcha moments.

Ideal for preparing as a traditional usucha (thin tea) or even a luxurious koicha (thick tea), Kanza’s flavor is delicate yet concentrated, making it a standout for those seeking the pinnacle of matcha quality. This is a seasonal offering that showcases the nuance and elegance only possible through precise harvest timing and artisanal production.

Here’s why Kanza is a rare gem worth savoring:

• Flavor: Creamy, smooth umami with delicate sweetness and almost no bitterness
• Aroma: Subtle, serene, and refined
• Origin: Uji, Kyoto – winter-harvested for concentrated flavor
• Use: Perfect for usucha and special-occasion koicha
• Why it’s special: A seasonal matcha with unmatched smoothness, crafted by Ippodo with exceptional care

Kanza is an invitation to slow down and sip something truly special — and it's available now, only at Matcha Tea Ireland.
