## Description

Product description About Itohkyuemon Itohkyuemon is a tea shop in Uji, Kyoto, dedicated to preserving the tea traditions passed down from the Edo period while bringing new value to Japanese tea. Since the late Edo period, Itohkyuemon has been carefully crafting tea with a commitment to quality, supplying its meticulously finished teas to renowned temples and shrines. While adapting to the times, Itohkyuemon has upheld two core principles: pursuing the highest quality unique to Itohkyuemon tea, and consistently embracing fresh ideas to spread the appeal of Uji tea. In addition to the traditional style of brewing with a teapot, Itohkyuemon continues to propose ways to enjoy Uji tea in ways that suit the modern lifestyle. Made in Japan Itohkyuemon uses only tea leaves picked in Japan. We take pride in our Uji tea, which is primarily sourced from Kyoto Prefecture, renowned for its superior quality. Always Freshly Milled Matcha The matcha, delicately ground, is celebrated for its mellow umami and rich flavor. We strive to deliver it as fresh as possible to preserve its quality. Characteristics of Uji Matcha Around mid-May, during the new green season, the tea-picking for Uji matcha begins shortly after Kuj?kunichi, the 99th day from the start of spring. The best time to pick is when the new shoots bear their fifth leaf, a stage known as isshin goyou. High-grade matcha, often used for tea ceremonies, is still hand-picked one leaf at a time, as it was in the past. The freshly picked leaves are processed on the same day. Steamed but not kneaded, they are then dried using traditional methods to produce tencha, the raw leaf for matcha. This tencha is then carefully to create "Uji matcha." How to Prepare Matcha Koicha (Thick Matcha) Add a small amount of hot water to a larger amount of matcha, then gently move the tea whisk to knead it into a thick consistency. Usucha (Thin Matcha) Add hot water to about 2 grams of matcha, then use the tea whisk in small, rapid motions to create a soft foam on the surface. Commitment to Matcha Selection of High-Quality Uji Tea Leaves The area around the Uji River, enveloped in gentle river mist, provides an ideal environment for nurturing tea. Only the finest tea leaves, harvested at peak season, are carefully selected to ensure top quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great but Pricey.
*by C***A on October 12, 2025*

It has an initial seaweed, grassy smell when you’re preparing the matcha , but it tastes absolutely amazing in the latte. I am super picky. I do not like strong vegetal notes, bitterness, or astringency. This matcha was mellow, sweet, and nutty imo. The color is super green too, pictures don’t do the blue hue justice. To be fair, I also don’t make my matcha with water at 170 degrees, I usually do a cooler temp (I forgot). 💔 The only thing I wish that were different is the price tag. It’s quite pricey for a little amount.
