Ippodo Ikuyo

Ippodo Tea, founded in 1717 in Kyoto, is one of Japan's most respected and longest-standing tea producers. For over 300 years, Ippodo has remained dedicated to the art of traditional matcha craftsmanship — sourcing premium tencha leaves, stone-grinding in small batches, and preserving the refined flavors that define authentic Uji-style matcha.

Ikuyo is an entry-level ceremonial matcha from Ippodo, designed for everyday enjoyment. Approachable yet distinctly refined, it offers a smooth and clean cup that captures the essence of Ippodo's quality at an accessible grade.
