Ippodo Tea Matcha Kuon is one of the rarest and most prestigious ceremonial matcha teas in the Ippodo collection. Carefully produced in limited quantities using hand-picked young tea leaves grown under intensive shade cultivation, Kuon delivers an exceptionally refined balance of sweetness, umami, aroma, and vibrant green color.
To produce this exceptional matcha, tea plants are almost completely shaded before harvest. This traditional cultivation method encourages the leaves to develop higher levels of natural sweetness and rich umami while minimizing bitterness. Only the finest young leaves are selected and processed using generations of Japanese tea craftsmanship.
The result is an elegant ceremonial matcha with a silky mouthfeel, deep lingering aroma, refreshing finish, and remarkable complexity. Kuon is crafted for those who appreciate the highest level of Japanese tea culture.
