About Yamamasa Koyamaen

Yamamasa Koyamaen is a historic Japanese tea producer with deep roots in the tea culture of Uji.

Its history traces back to tea-growing ancestors in the early Edo period. Over generations, the company has continued to develop its expertise in tea cultivation, manufacturing, processing, evaluation, and blending.

Ogurayama is a perfect example of this philosophy: a refined Japanese matcha designed to deliver excellent flavor and aroma while remaining suitable for regular drinking.

Best Ways to Enjoy Ogurayama

Traditional Usucha

Ogurayama is especially recommended for usucha, or thin matcha.

Recommended preparation:

• 1.5–2g Ogurayama Matcha
• Approximately 70ml water
• Water temperature: around 80°C / 176°F

Sift the matcha into a dry matcha bowl.

Add a small amount of warm water and gently combine to reduce clumping. Add the remaining water and whisk briskly with a bamboo chasen for approximately 15 seconds until a fine foam develops.

Enjoy immediately to experience its aroma at its best.

Premium Matcha Latte

Ogurayama can also create a richer, more refined matcha latte.

Recommended preparation:

• 3–4g Ogurayama Matcha
• 40–50ml warm water
• 150–180ml milk or plant-based milk

Whisk the matcha with water until completely smooth, then add steamed milk for a hot latte or pour over cold milk and ice.

For customers who usually drink lower-priced latte matcha, Ogurayama offers an opportunity to experience greater depth and aroma in a milk-based drink.

Who Should Choose Ogurayama 150g?

The 150g Ogurayama Matcha is particularly suitable for:

• Frequent matcha drinkers
• Traditional usucha drinkers
• Yamamasa Koyamaen enthusiasts
• Japanese tea lovers
• Matcha latte drinkers looking for a premium upgrade
• Households consuming matcha regularly
• Customers who prefer larger matcha tins
• Matcha enthusiasts looking for better value per gram than small tins

At approximately 2g per traditional serving, a 150g tin can provide around 75 servings.
