Kyoto Teien is our signature organic ceremonial-grade matcha blend, crafted from first-harvest tencha sourced from Japan's most celebrated tea-growing regions. Uji, renowned for its elegance and refinement, and Kagoshima, prized for its depth and vibrancy. These carefully selected leaves are brought together and traditionally stone-milled into matcha in Kyoto, creating a blend that is both balanced and distinctive.
Inspired by the Japanese concept of a teien, a garden shaped through the harmony of nature and human craftsmanship, Kyoto Teien reflects the same philosophy in every cup. Thoughtfully selected tea leaves are combined with intention to create a matcha that is exceptionally smooth, vibrant, and naturally low in bitterness.
Kyoto Teien offers rich umami, subtle natural sweetness, and a delicate hint of nuttiness. The cup is exceptionally smooth with a creamy, lingering finish and vibrant green appearance, creating a balanced matcha with minimal bitterness and broad appeal.
While crafted to meet the expectations of discerning matcha enthusiasts, Kyoto Teien is intentionally approachable. Its balanced flavor profile and smooth finish make it equally appealing to curious first-time matcha drinkers, allowing cafés to serve a premium matcha experience that resonates with both seasoned tea lovers and everyday customers.
Whether served as a traditional matcha, signature latte, smoothie, or specialty beverage, Kyoto Teien is designed to help your menu stand out while maintaining consistency at scale.
