Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha – Seijo no Shiro
Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Experience the quiet elegance of Seijo no Shiro – a ceremonial-grade matcha favoured by the Urasenke School and crafted by legendary Kyoto-based tea producer, Marukyu Koyamaen.

Sourced from the revered tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, this premium matcha is a beautiful expression of balance, refinement, and tradition. Its name translates to “White of the Sacred Castle”, and its taste lives up to its poetic roots.

Flavour Profile

Expect a smooth, mellow umami character with a gentle sweetness and subtle earthy undertones. The aroma is fresh, light, and green – never overpowering – with a soft, cultivated depth that lingers on the palate.

Seijo no Shiro is especially suited to koicha (thick tea) preparation, where its depth and refinement truly shine.

Texture & Brewing

Stone-milled to an ultra-fine powder, it whisks effortlessly into a rich, velvety froth. For best results, brew with lower temperature water (around 70–75°C) to preserve its nuanced flavours.

Intentional daily rituals
