Shuon Matcha (Strong Tea / Koicha Grade)

Kyoto Kyōtanabe | Murasakino & Daitokuji Temple Lineage | Profound Depth & Serenity

Rooted in the quiet elegance of Kyoto’s tea heritage, Shuon Matcha represents the pinnacle of refined depth and balance. Cultivated in the fertile fields of Kyōtanabe, a region famed for producing Japan’s finest tencha, this koicha-grade matcha reflects centuries of craftsmanship influenced by the monastic tea traditions of Daitokuji and Ikkyuji Temple — both central to the Zen tea culture of Murasakino.

🍵 Tasting Profile

  • Flavor: Profoundly rich umami with layered sweetness and no bitterness

  • Aroma: Deep, roasted-green fragrance with hints of seaweed and cocoa

  • Texture: Velvety, thick, and harmoniously smooth — ideal for koicha (thick tea)

  • Finish: Lingering, meditative sweetness with a warming, savory close

🌿 Cultural Heritage
The name “Shuon” (宗恩) evokes tranquility and gratitude — an homage to the Zen ideals that shaped Kyoto’s tea ceremony. The matcha’s leaves are shaded for nearly a month before harvest, hand-picked, and stone-milled in small batches, yielding a vibrant jade color and resonant flavor true to the chanoyu spirit.

Frequently asked questions
DOES MATCHA EXPIRED OR PASSED ITS BEST DATE?

Matcha does not “expire”. The date on the can is the manufacturer’s best before date, which is the manufacturer's suggested date of when the matcha will taste at its peak umami.

How fresh is our matcha?

  • All our matcha is freshly picked from most time.
  • Their shelf life follows the manufacturer's guide, which varies from 3 to 12 months (mostly: 6–10 months).
  • If a product’s BBD date is very close or part of a promotion, we clearly label it as a separate variant so you can choose knowingly.

How should I store my matcha?

  • Before BBF date: Store in a cool (<25°C) and dry place, or in the fridge.
  • Closer to BBF date (around 2 weeks before): Move to the freezer to maintain umami and greenness flavour.
  • After BBF date: You can keep it in the freezer and enjoy for a few extra months.
  • Tip: Once you take it out of the freezer for use, return it immediately to avoid moisture affecting the umami.
