Buy Ippodo Ummon Matcha – Japan’s Most Refined Ceremonial Tea

Looking to buy Ippodo Ummon Matcha online? You’ve just found one of the rarest and most luxurious ceremonial matchas in the world. Ippodo Ummon-no-Mukashi is a premium matcha produced by Ippodo Tea Co., one of Kyoto’s most prestigious tea houses established in 1717.

This matcha represents the pinnacle of Uji tea craftsmanship, offering an exceptionally smooth, umami-rich flavour with a deep emerald hue and a naturally sweet aftertaste.
Perfect for tea connoisseurs and those who appreciate refined Japanese culture in every sip.

 What Is Ippodo Ummon Matcha?

Ummon-no-Mukashi is Ippodo’s highest ceremonial-grade matcha — traditionally served in Japanese tea ceremonies (chanoyu).
It’s crafted from the youngest, shade-grown tea leaves harvested in Uji, Kyoto, then stone-ground into an ultra-fine, vibrant green powder. The result? A matcha that’s velvety, deep, and mellow, with minimal bitterness and a long-lasting sweetness — the kind of tea that transforms a moment into a ritual.

Flavour Profile & Aroma

• Taste: Smooth, rich umami with balanced sweetness

• Aroma: Fresh, vegetal, and elegant

• Texture: Silky and creamy froth when whisked correctly

• Colour: Bright emerald green with vivid sheen

Ummon Matcha’s taste is deep and layered — perfect for traditional koicha (thick tea) preparation, but equally delightful as usucha (thin tea) for everyday luxury.
