About Yamamasa Koyamaen

Yamamasa Koyamaen is a long-established matcha producer in Uji, Kyoto. The brand is trusted for consistent quality, refined tea-making, and a wide range of matcha for tea ceremony, daily drinking, and culinary use.

Why Uji Matcha?

Uji is one of Japan’s most respected tea regions. Its climate, soil, shading methods, and tea-processing traditions help create matcha with clean aroma, balanced taste, and vivid green color.

Stone-Milled Craftsmanship

Traditional stone mill matcha production

Traditional stone milling produces a fine powder with a smooth texture. This careful process is one reason Japanese matcha feels soft on the tongue and blends beautifully with water or milk.

About Matcha Lumps

Small clumps can appear naturally because matcha is very fine and sensitive to static electricity and humidity. For a smoother bowl or latte, sift the powder before whisking.

How to Store Matcha

Matcha is sensitive to air, light, heat, and moisture. Keep it tightly sealed after opening and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For the best flavor and aroma, enjoy it soon after opening.
