Marukyu Koyamaen Kinrin 40g

Discover the Rich Elegance of Kinrin

Some matcha are designed for everyday enjoyment. Others are crafted to showcase the remarkable depth that only exceptional Uji tea can offer.

Marukyu Koyamaen Kinrin belongs to the latter.

Produced by the legendary Marukyu Koyamaen, Kinrin (金輪) is one of the brand's most respected premium ceremonial matcha blends. It is celebrated for its rich umami, refreshing aroma, creamy texture, and remarkably smooth finish, making it suitable for both Usucha (thin tea) and Koicha (thick tea).

Whether you're deepening your appreciation of Japanese tea or looking for a refined ceremonial matcha, Kinrin offers an authentic taste of Kyoto's centuries-old tea tradition.

Crafted by One of Japan's Most Historic Tea Houses

Founded in 1704, Marukyu Koyamaen has spent more than 300 years perfecting the art of Uji tea.

Every harvest begins with carefully shade-grown tea plants cultivated in Kyoto. The leaves are transformed into tencha before being slowly stone-ground using traditional granite mills.

This meticulous process preserves:

• Vibrant emerald-green color
• Rich concentration of L-theanine
• Fresh natural aroma
• Exceptionally smooth texture
• Complex layered flavor

Each bowl reflects the craftsmanship that has earned Marukyu Koyamaen worldwide

 recognition among tea masters and matcha enthusiasts.

A Rich, Refreshing Flavor with Lasting Depth

Kinrin is admired for delivering both intensity and elegance.

Its flavor opens with a fresh vegetal aroma before revealing layers of rich umami, gentle sweetness, and a smooth finish that lingers pleasantly without excessive bitterness.

Unlike entry-level ceremonial matcha, Kinrin develops greater complexity as it cools, allowing every sip to reveal new nuances.

Tasting Notes

• Rich umami
• Refreshing vegetal aroma
• Gentle natural sweetness
• Silky creamy texture
• Light pleasant astringency
• Exceptionally smooth finish
• Minimal bitterness

Tea enthusiasts frequently praise Kinrin for its balance, describing it as vibrant, smooth, and satisfying enough for both daily drinking and formal tea preparation.

Beautiful Color & Silky Texture

Kinrin is stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder that creates a luxurious bowl of matcha.

Expect:

• Bright emerald-green color
• Fine, creamy foam
• Velvety mouthfeel
• Excellent suspension
• Almost no sediment

Its appearance reflects the exceptional quality expected from premium Uji ceremonial matcha.

Perfect for Both Usucha and Koicha

Unlike many ceremonial blends that excel in only one preparation style, Kinrin is recommended for both Usucha and Koicha.

Traditional Usucha

Recommended preparation:

• 2g matcha
• 70ml water
• Water temperature: 75–80°C

Whisk briskly until a smooth layer of foam develops.

The result is bright, refreshing, and wonderfully balanced.

Rich Koicha

Kinrin also performs beautifully as Koicha.

Its naturally high concentration of amino acids creates:

• Dense texture
• Deep umami
• Lingering sweetness
• Luxurious mouthfeel

For tea ceremony practitioners, this versatility makes Kinrin a particularly rewarding choice.
