Marukyu Koyamaen – Kinrin Matcha

40g Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Kinrin (金輪), meaning “Golden Wheel”, is a distinguished ceremonial-grade matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, an Uji tea house with over 300 years of heritage. Known for its luminous balance and refined flavour, Kinrin embodies both elegance and approachability—making it a beloved choice for daily practice and refined tea gatherings alike.

Taste & Character

Kinrin offers a smooth, rounded umami with gentle sweetness and low astringency. Its flavour recalls tender spring greens with a touch of nuttiness, unfolding into a clean, refreshing finish. Approachable yet refined, it is well-suited for usucha (thin tea) and versatile enough for creative matcha preparations.

Aroma

Bright and uplifting, the aroma carries grassy freshness with a subtle floral lift. Once whisked, it blossoms into a soft, inviting fragrance that reflects balance and purity.

Texture & Finish

Stone-milled to ceremonial fineness, Kinrin whisks into a vibrant green froth with fine bubbles. On the palate, it is silky and light-bodied, leaving a refreshing, velvety finish that lingers with quiet elegance.
