Ryuoen Chaho - Saemidori (Limited Special Grade)

Founded in 1875  Ryuoen Chaho  is one of Kyoto’s quiet but deeply respected tea houses. Unlike more commercial tea brands, Ryuoen Chaho has preserved a traditional, almost unchanged way of selling tea for over a century, a rare example of continuity in Japanese craftsmanship.

🌿 A Tea Shop Trusted by Tea Masters

What makes Ryuoen truly special is its connection to the heart of Japanese tea culture:

• Their matcha is officially recognised and used by the three major tea ceremony schools (Urasenke, Omotesenke, Mushanokoji-senke).
• This level of recognition means their tea meets the highest standards for ceremonial use, not just everyday drinking

Saemidori (20g) is a premium single origin Japanese matcha crafted from carefully selected mountain grown tea leaves by Yana Sakuraen Tea Garden. This matcha offers a smooth and refreshing flavour profile with gentle sweetness, vibrant vegetal notes, and a clean elegant finish.
