What Is Yugen Matcha?

Yugen Matcha is a premium ceremonial-grade green tea powder produced by Marukyu Koyamaen, a legendary tea maker based in Uji, Kyoto. Made from carefully shade-grown tea leaves, Yugen is stone-ground into a fine, velvety powder that dissolves smoothly into water. Each cup reveals a harmony of sweetness, gentle bitterness, and creamy texture — the signature of authentic Uji matcha.
