Since 1827, Shogyokuen has been refining the highest quality leaves from Kyoto and grinding them into matcha for the aristocracy and samurai elite of Japan.

His ability to judge the qualities of tea leaves and then blend the leaves in the best way, particularly for making matcha, is proven by the many awards won over the years.

I received this matcha for my birthday, and it definitely did not disappoint! It is sweet, fresh, and light. It is amazing iced and warm. It is also a perfect matcha for beginners. My partner’s parents who are usually not fans of matcha, because they haven’t tried a good quality one, absolutely loved this one. Definitely recommend!
i got my order of this matcha today and I couldn't be happier, first of all the opening the packaging is an experience in itself. Carefully packaged, I appreciate the personal touches of the notes and instructions, feels like I got a postcard from a friend. Amazing! the matcha itself is bright vivid green in colour. Smells divine. I will only be ordering from tencha from now on surely! Definitely feels like the brand respects the origins of the matcha, Thank you!
