What Is Kinrin Matcha?

Kinrin Matcha is a ceremonial-grade Japanese green tea powder, stone-milled from young, shade-grown tencha leaves cultivated in Uji’s lush hillsides. The careful shading process enriches the leaves with amino acids, producing a smooth, creamy tea with minimal bitterness. Marukyu Koyamaen’s expert blenders create a matcha that balances richness, aroma, and depth — a signature of Kyoto craftsmanship.
