About Saryo Suisen | 茶寮翠泉

Welcome to the Pinnacle of Matcha

At Saryo Suisen, we use only the highest grade of the highest quality Uji matcha, and we use it in abundance.

Kyoto is Japan’s largest producer of gyokuro and matcha, two of the finest types of tea. The city of Uji, located in Kyoto, is the birthplace of green tea, and is also where the practice of making a “shaded tea plantation” was developed, in which tea leaves used in gyokuro and matcha are cultivated without exposing them to sunlight. The accumulation of this know-how and the region’s favorable climate results in the highest production volume and quality of green tea leaves in all of Japan.
At the National Tea Fair, Kyoto dominates the ranking when it comes to “tencha,” the original green tea leaves used in matcha, placing in the top ten almost every year.
There are also two types of matcha; thin matcha (usucha) prepared by whisking the tea, and thick matcha (koicha) prepared by slowly kneading the tea into a paste, the latter of which being elegantly simple with a deep and refined, sweeter and more intense flavor. The secret of Saryo Suisen’s delicious taste is that we use such carefully selected refined matcha, directly from Uji.
