Founded in 1875  Ryuoen Chaho  is one of Kyoto’s quiet but deeply respected tea houses. Unlike more commercial tea brands, Ryuoen Chaho has preserved a traditional, almost unchanged way of selling tea for over a century, a rare example of continuity in Japanese craftsmanship.

🌿 A Tea Shop Trusted by Tea Masters

What makes Ryuoen truly special is its connection to the heart of Japanese tea culture:

  • Their matcha is officially recognised and used by the three major tea ceremony schools (Urasenke, Omotesenke, Mushanokoji-senke).
  • This level of recognition means their tea meets the highest standards for ceremonial use, not just everyday drinking.

Kinjou no Mukashi is a rare matcha blend from Ryuoen Chaho. Rich and creamy, with a nutty aroma and an intensely bold tea flavour. There is no noticeable bitterness or astringency, while a deep sweetness comes through immediately.

 

How to Prepare

Sift 1–2 tsp of matcha into a bowl. Add 60–80 ml of hot water (80°C). Whisk in a zigzag motion until frothy. Enjoy it straight or add milk for a creamy matcha latte.

Tasting Notes

A full-bodied, intensely flavoured matcha, with every element pronounced.
