Kanbayashi Shunsho

Kanbayashi Shunsho 上林春松, founded in 1560 in Uji, Kyoto, is one of Japan’s most prestigious and time-honored tea houses. With a history spanning over 460 years, the Kanbayashi family has supplied matcha to the Japanese imperial household and upheld the refined traditions of chanoyu (the Japanese tea ceremony) across generations.

Their matcha is crafted from carefully selected first-harvest tencha leaves, stone-milled using traditional methods to produce powders of exceptional color, aroma, and flavor. Each batch reflects centuries of craftsmanship and deep reverence for tea culture.

As a symbol of heritage, purity, and ceremonial precision, Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten matcha is cherished by tea masters, temples, and connoisseurs worldwide.

“For those who seek not only a cup of tea, but a moment of timeless stillness.”
