The aroma of Jyuky is nutty, sweet with a hint of brown sugar, and savory. The flavor is rich and smooth, without any astringency, featuring subtle notes of sweet peas, almond, melted butter, and vanilla.
Both in koicha and usucha, it offers a velvety mouthfeel and a clean finish. The usucha version, in particular, has a lighter, more delicate flavor with no seaweed undertones.
**About Itoh Kyuemon**
Founded in 1832 during Japan’s Edo period, Itoh Kyuemon is a prestigious tea house located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Famous for its high-quality Uji tea, the brand blends centuries of tradition with expert craftsmanship to produce some of the finest teas available.
In partnership with renowned tea growers in Uji Shirakawa and Ujitawara, Itoh Kyuemon ensures its teas are made from hand-selected first-flush leaves, preserving their superior quality. The leaves are processed immediately after harvest to retain their freshness, becoming the base for their Sencha, Gyokuro, and Matcha teas.
The company uses traditional stone mills to grind the leaves, ensuring a smooth, vibrant flavor for its matcha. Artisans also skillfully blend and fire-dry the Sencha and Gyokuro to bring out their full aroma and taste, guaranteeing consistent excellence throughout the year.
With nearly two centuries of expertise, Itoh Kyuemon continues to honor its rich legacy while sharing the distinctive flavor of Uji tea with the world.
