This limited release matcha comes to Kettl by way of our partnership with Yamamasa Koyamaen, a distinguished tea maker based in Uji. The roots of Yamamasa Koyamaen trace back to the early 1600s, when the Koyama family began cultivating and producing tea in the Uji region. Since then, they have spent centuries perfecting the art of Uji tea production. Ryokusen is a verdant and expressive matcha with a balanced profile that cuts through milk for the perfect latte.
