Marukyu Koyamaen Byakuren 100g

A Smooth Matcha You'll Reach for Every Day

Not every great matcha needs to be reserved for special occasions. Marukyu Koyamaen Byakuren 100g is crafted for those who appreciate authentic Japanese matcha as part of their daily routine.

Produced in Uji, Kyoto by the renowned Marukyu Koyamaen tea house, Byakuren - meaning "White Lotus" - embodies balance, calmness, and simplicity. It offers a mellow cup with gentle umami, soft sweetness, and a clean finish, making it an excellent choice for everyday enjoyment.

Whether you're preparing a traditional bowl of usucha, whisking a morning latte, or adding matcha to your favorite desserts, Byakuren delivers reliable quality and exceptional value.

Crafted in Uji, Kyoto

Marukyu Koyamaen has been producing Japanese tea since 1704, earning worldwide recognition for its dedication to quality and traditional craftsmanship.

Byakuren is made from carefully selected, shade-grown tea leaves cultivated in Kyoto. After harvesting, the leaves are processed into tencha and finely stone-milled to preserve their vibrant green color, fresh aroma, and naturally smooth texture.

The result is a matcha that reflects the heritage of Uji while remaining approachable enough for daily preparation.
