Ryo Shizu Matcha is a vibrant Japanese tea hailing from the lush tea fields of Shizuoka, Japan—one of the country’s most celebrated tea-growing regions. Blessed with fertile volcanic soil, abundant rainfall, and a temperate climate, Shizuoka nurtures tea leaves with a distinct freshness and clarity of flavor.

Crafted from carefully selected first-harvest leaves, Ryo Shizu delivers a bright, grassy aroma that evokes freshly cut spring meadows. On the palate, it reveals a delicate balance of slightly sweet vegetal notes and a lingering, pleasant astringency, offering a refreshing yet sophisticated taste experience.

With a medium richness, gentle bitterness, and clean, crisp finish, Ryo Shizu is perfect for those who appreciate the lighter, greener side of matcha. It’s an ideal choice for both traditional whisked preparations and modern matcha creations—bringing a taste of Shizuoka’s serene landscapes into every cup.

Whether you enjoy it as a mindful morning ritual or an afternoon pick-me-up, Ryo Shizu offers a pure, uplifting expression of Japanese matcha tradition—fresh, bright, and gracefully enduring.

MATCHA vs COFFEE

A Steady Boost

According to many studies, a cup of matcha contains less caffein than a cup of coffee. The natural L-theanine in matcha calms your mind and body while absorbing caffeine which gives you a focused 4-6 hour boost! Matcha provides a steady increase in energy and focus without sudden spikes or crashes like with coffee and energy drinks.
