Marukyu Koyamaen Kinrin Matcha – Ceremonial Japanese Matcha

Rich, refreshing, and beautifully smooth.

Kinrin by Marukyu Koyamaen is a refined ceremonial Japanese matcha known for its refreshing character, rich flavour, and exceptionally smooth finish.

Its smooth, rounded character makes it enjoyable as traditional usucha, while its depth and richness also allow it to be prepared as koicha.
