Marukyu Koyamaen is one of the most esteemed and historic tea producers in Uji, Kyoto—Japan’s heartland of high-quality matcha. As an "Authorized Wholesale Retailer of Marukyu Koyamaen" all the blends we offer (Soju, Meiju, Oju) are specifically blended for the European Union and hence are especially low in pesticide residues.
Founded in the Genroku era (late 1600s), Marukyu Koyamaen began as a tea grower and gradually became one of Uji’s leading matcha producers. Over generations, the Koyama family has preserved and refined traditional cultivation and processing methods, earning trust from tea schools and practitioners across Japan.
"Making teas with quality as the highest priority."
「品質本位の茶づくり」
(Hinshitsu hon’i no chazukuri)
Specializing in shade-grown tencha, which is stone-milled into matcha, Marukyu Koyamaen is celebrated for its exceptional quality, deep umami, and elegant balance. Their teas are a staple in the Japanese tea ceremony and are favoured by tea schools and connoisseurs alike, embodying the spirit of Uji’s centuries-old tea culture. Many of Japan’s most respected tea masters rely on Marukyu Koyamaen’s matcha for its consistency, depth, and refinement. The company offers a wide range of ceremonial and culinary grades, carefully crafted to suit both traditional rituals and modern applications.
All Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha is stone-milled in-house on granite mills (ishi-usu) — a single mill yields only around 40 g per hour. In our experience, their milling quality and consistency are among the best on the market — built on long experience, technology leadership, and in-house resources few other producers can match.

The person behind UNEARTHED
For over 15 years I have been collecting ceramics and drinking tea very seriously. Now I am funnelling all of that experience into finding and curating great wares and tea.
We only sell what I personally like a lot, and that includes the tea I drink myself every day. I choose every maker. I taste every tea before it goes into the shop. I travel to Japan and China to meet the people who make what we sell.
Until now the entire endeavour is in my hands from end to end: sourcing, logistics, photography, education, labelling and packing your parcels.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences, and we supply cafés and shops with matcha and equipment at wholesale prices.

Wonderful maocha. Incredible craftsmanship that lasts through many infusions. Clean and powerful flavor. Highly recommended.
The Kagoshima Okumidori Matcha is outstanding vibrant green, incredibly smooth, and packed with a beautiful umami depth. Top-tier authentic quality! The website was easy to use, shipping was fast, and the packaging was excellent.
Sehr guter Geschmack. Ich bin hoch zufrieden. Es war der erste 'echte' Matcha überhaupt für mich.
