🍵 About Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi

Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi is one of the oldest and most revered tea houses in Japan, with a history dating back to the 15th century. Based in Uji, Kyoto, this family-run tea merchant has served matcha to nobility, monks, and tea masters for generations — even supplying tea to the Imperial Family during the Edo period.

Their matcha is crafted using centuries-old methods, from carefully shaded tencha cultivation to slow stone-grinding. The result is a cup of tea with deep umami, refined sweetness, and a smooth, elegant finish. Blends like Ato Mukashishowcase the harmony of tradition and terroir, perfect for those seeking matcha with both historical depth and exceptional quality.

With over 500 years of heritage, Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi offers more than tea — it offers a rare and timeless connection to Japan’s cultural legacy.
