Kyogoku no Mukashi

Kyogoku no Mukashi by Ippodo Tea – Bold Elegance, Rooted in Tradition

Discover the richness of tradition with Kyogoku no Mukashi by Ippodo Tea, a premium Japanese matcha now available at Ujicha Matcha. Sourced from the lush, historic tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, this matcha offers a deeper, more pronounced character — ideal for those who appreciate complexity in their cup.

Kyogoku no Mukashi features a robust umami base, complemented by a noticeable bitterness and a subtle astringency that adds structure and sophistication. Its vibrant green aroma is both invigorating and grounding, making it an excellent choice for slow, intentional moments — whether you're beginning your day or taking a mid-afternoon pause.

Crafted with precision and care, this matcha is best enjoyed as usucha (thin tea), but its strength and complexity also make it a striking choice for matcha lattes. It’s an excellent fit for matcha drinkers seeking boldness, depth, and a refined flavor experience that lingers.

Kyogoku no Mukashi stands out for:

• Flavor: Full-bodied umami with structured bitterness and light astringency
• Aroma: Fresh, vibrant, and deep
• Origin: Uji, Kyoto — Japan’s most renowned region for premium matcha
• Use: Best for usucha, also strong enough for matcha lattes
• Why it’s special: A deeper, more complex matcha crafted by Ippodo for those who want richness and clarity in every sip
