Buy Ippodo Kan Matcha – Elegant, Mild Ceremonial-Grade Green Tea from Kyoto

Looking to buy Ippodo Kan Matcha online? You’ve found one of Kyoto’s most graceful and accessible ceremonial-grade matchas, handcrafted by the historic Ippodo Tea Co., founded in 1717.

Ippodo Kan-no-Mukashi offers a light, refined flavour profile — smooth, naturally sweet, and perfectly balanced for everyday tea sessions or beginner-friendly ceremonies.
It captures the gentle spirit of Uji, Kyoto, where Japan’s finest matcha has been cultivated for over 800 years.

What Is Ippodo Kan Matcha?

Kan-no-Mukashi is a ceremonial-grade matcha from Ippodo’s renowned Uji tea gardens. It’s crafted using tender, shade-grown tea leaves harvested in early spring, then stone-ground to a fine, vibrant green powder. The result is a clean, elegant cup with mild umami and a touch of sweetness — ideal for usucha (thin tea). Kan Matcha represents balance: a lighter experience than Sayaka or Horai, yet still rich in tradition and taste.
