Collection: Shohokuen - Uji, Kyoto since 1645

🌿 Shohokuen – A Legacy of Tea Since 1645 - A Bold & Creamy Indulgence
Founded in 1645, Shohokuen is one of Japan’s most esteemed tea houses, run by the Sugimoto family for over 14 generations. Based in Kohata, Uji—Kyoto, the birthplace of Japanese tea, Shohokuen upholds the highest standards of craftsmanship and tradition.

✨ Renowned for their role in opening the first ceremonial tea vessel, the Sugimoto family is a symbol of prestige in the world of matcha. On their historic estate, they continue the revered practice of Isshin Sannyou—“one sprig, three leaves”—harvesting just once a year to preserve unmatched purity and flavor.

🏅 With centuries of accolades and global recognition, it’s an honour to bring you matcha from this legendary house—where every sip reflects a heritage of excellence
