Ippodo Tea - Sayaka Matcha (40g) - For Usucha, Koicha & Lattes

Ippodo Tea - Over 300 Years of Tradition Founded in 1717, Ippodo Tea is a family-run Japanese tea company located in the heart of Kyoto. Our tea comes from the mountains in and around Japan’s Kyoto prefecture, making it synonymous with tea from the Kyoto area.

Our tea grades are distinguished by their fuller aftertaste, sweeter aroma, bright green color, and rich umami flavor. One of our most popular selections is the remarkably aromatic, light-bodied, and refreshing Hojicha. Additionally, Matcha is a unique type of Japanese green tea made by grinding shade-cultivated leaves into a fine powder. We offer a variety of matcha products, including Sayaka (Horai) - 40g, characterized by its smooth sweetness and umami accompanied by a hint of bitterness.

We provide detailed instructions for preparing different matcha drinks, such as regular matcha (usucha), thick paste matcha (koicha), and matcha latte. Our products have received high ratings from satisfied customers and are available in various sizes and types, including premium organic matcha.

When preparing matcha, we recommend sifting the powder before adding water and whisking for seconds rather than minutes. Experimenting with different water-to-matcha ratios and temperatures can help you find your favorite taste. You can also turn matcha into a latte by adding your favorite milk to the whisked water and matcha.

At Ippodo Tea, we carefully select, blend, and craft our teas to ensure the highest quality. Our teas, including matcha, gyokuro, sencha, and bancha, are cultivated in the mountains of Kyoto and the surrounding area, known for producing the highest grade of green tea in Japan.

Recognized for our tradition and excellence, Ippodo Tea continues to provide the highest quality Japanese green tea while preserving our centuries-old legacy.
