Itoh Kyuemon

Tenjo 20

Sourced from the celebrated Ujitawara region of Kyoto, this Grade 3 ceremonial matcha represents the pinnacle of Itoh Kyuemon's craft, made from the prized Tenjo cultivar harvested in the spring's first flush. The powder delivers a rich umami backbone balanced with a creamy, velvety smoothness that glides across the palate with minimal astringency, characteristics that define premium ceremonial-grade matcha. Its refined depth and silky texture make it equally suited to both the delicate whisking of usucha and the fuller-bodied preparation of koicha.
