All Teas
At IKKYU, we proudly present a carefully curated selection of premium green tea from Japan, each embodying traditional tea-making's rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship. Just as the world of wine revels in its variety and complexity, our premium green teas offer a similar journey of discovery, inviting connoisseurs to savor the nuanced flavors and aromas that set each blend apart. Our collection spans various tea terroirs of Kyushu island in Southwestern Japan, showcasing the diversity and uniqueness of flavors that Japanese teas offer from a region home to some of the country’s most exclusive tea specialties. From the vibrant green hues of matcha to the delicate floral notes of sencha, IKKYU is your gateway to exploring Japan's finest teas. The art of matcha — a taste of traditionMatcha stands at the heart of our catalog. Sourced from the verdant fields of Yame (Fukuoka), Sonogi (Nagasaki), or Kirishima (Kagoshima), our matcha is a testament to centuries-old tea cultivation and processing traditions. The vibrant green powder is a visual treat and offers a rich, creamy texture and a profound, umami-rich flavor that is both invigorating and soothing. From our competition-grade Itaru matcha from Yame, with high caffeine levels, to our ceremonial-grade organic Matsuko matcha from Kagoshima, with notes of artichoke, moss, and fresh-cut grass, we have the perfect taste profiles for the ultimate matcha-drinking experience. Sencha — the quintessence of Japanese green teaSencha, the most popular green tea in Japan, occupies a special place in our product line. Whether single-origin or masterfully blended by tea masters, our sencha is selected from the finest tea gardens run by family businesses going back several generations, offering a spectrum of flavors ranging from sweet and floral to rich and umami. The meticulous process of steaming, rolling, and drying the tea leaves ensures that each cup offers a refreshing aroma and a balance of delicate sweetness and slight bitterness, characteristic of premium sencha. Gyokuro — the jewel of Japanese teasGyokuro is celebrated for its exceptional quality and unique cultivation process, where the tea bushes are shaded for the final weeks before harvest, and then carefully handpicked by skilled farmers. This technique enhances the leaf's chlorophyll content and amino acids, producing masterpieces with an exquisite sweet flavor and a round, velvety texture. Our gyokuro range is sourced from the finest tea fields in Yame, Fukuoka, giving a luxurious tea-drinking experience that captivates with its depth and complexity. Hojicha and genmaicha — a symphony of flavorsOur collection features hojicha and genmaicha — two teas that differ from the typical green tea profile. Hojicha, with its roasted, smoky flavor, offers a comforting warmth, while genmaicha, with toasted rice kernels, presents a nutty, savory taste. These teas provide a unique flavor experience for tea connoisseurs, combining the health benefits of green tea with intriguing, robust tastes.
