Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha – Seijo no Shiro Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Experience the quiet elegance of Seijo no Shiro – a ceremonial-grade matcha favoured by the Urasenke School and crafted by legendary Kyoto-based tea producer, Marukyu Koyamaen.
Sourced from the revered tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, this premium matcha is a beautiful expression of balance, refinement, and tradition. Its name translates to “White of the Sacred Castle”, and its taste lives up to its poetic roots.
Flavour Profile
Expect a smooth, mellow umami character with a gentle sweetness and subtle earthy undertones. The aroma is fresh, light, and green – never overpowering – with a soft, cultivated depth that lingers on the palate.
Seijo no Shiro is especially suited to koicha (thick tea) preparation, where its depth and refinement truly shine.
Texture & Brewing
Stone-milled to an ultra-fine powder, it whisks effortlessly into a rich, velvety froth. For best results, brew with lower temperature water (around 70–75°C) to preserve its nuanced flavours.

Traditional tea ceremonies
Intentional daily rituals

Thoughtful gifting for tea connoisseurs
