Matcha "Matsu no Shiro"

Ryuoen from Kyoto makes their matcha from tea grown on their own fields in Uji. Their company has been in business since 1875, and their tea shop in Kyoto has been selling their Uji matcha for over a century. They say time softens things, and we feel this in the matcha they produce.
