Ryuouen, founded in 1875, is a distinguished Japanese tea producer known for high-quality matcha created using traditional methods. Sourcing premium tea leaves from the Uji region, their small team of nine takes a hands-on approach, spending one hour to grind just 40 grams of matcha. Selling exclusively in-store, Ryuouen prioritizes quality over quantity, ensuring their tea meets the highest standards while maintaining traditional practices.
