Ryuoen Chaho - Tama no Shiro Matcha 20g (rare & finest)

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 mooth and umami rich with a gentle sweetness, complemented by a subtle hint of bitterness that adds depth and character. An excellent choice for an everyday matcha.
