For those who choose by aroma.
A smoky matcha that lingers, quietly.

Some teas speak loudly.
Others leave a trace.
SmoKYO is the latter.

SmoKYO is a smoky matcha born in Kyoto,
where two quiet traditions meet.

The deep, lingering smoke of Kyobancha —
a roasted tea long loved locally, rarely known beyond —
is layered with the umami of stone-milled Uji matcha.

Not roasted.
Not flavored.
But guided by smoke.

Why Smoke Matters

This is not hojicha.
This is not roast.

Kyobancha’s aroma comes from kunko —
a soft, enveloping smokiness created by iron-pan roasting
of mature leaves and stems.

It is warming, grounding, and calm.
A fragrance that stays close to the body.

Taste & Experience

Umami first.
Then smoke — gentle, mineral, and dry.

No sweetness.
No sharp edges.
Only a long, quiet aftertaste.

This is matcha as a preference, not a benefit.

When to Choose SmoKYO

• When GREEN MATCHA feels too bright
• When MATCHAI feels too warm
• For evening focus or slow reflection
• If you enjoy whisky, dark chocolate, or wood-fired aromas

This is matcha for those who notice what lingers.
