Ceremonial Matcha Tennouzan '天王山' | Yamamasa Koyamaen

Tennouzan is a premium-grade koicha (thick tea) matcha that offers a deeply immersive tasting experience. Its rich, full-bodied profile unfolds with notes reminiscent of roasted nuts and dark chocolate, delivering a velvety creaminess and a remarkably long, satisfying aftertaste. The richness of this matcha is truly on another level—bold, elegant, and unforgettable.

Named after Mt. Tennou (Tennou-zan) in southern Kyoto, this tea carries a legacy of significance. The mountain is known as the site of a pivotal historical battle that altered the course of Japanese history. Today, Tennouzan symbolises moments of decisive change—where victory, fate, and turning points meet. A fitting name for a matcha that leaves a lasting impression from the very first sip.
