Ippodo Ummon

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.

Ummon is Ippodo's second highest grade of matcha — a bold, full-bodied ceremonial grade for those who seek depth and complexity. Deep emerald green color, powerful umami, and a lingering creaminess that sets it apart from everyday matcha.

Aroma: Earthy and sweet, with notes of cacao, deep umami, and a hint of seaweed

Taste: Full-bodied and powerful umami, subtle sweetness, creamy texture with a rich, satisfying finish

🍵 Recommended for: Koicha (thick tea), usucha (thin tea), matcha latte
