Smoky Matcha Powder – Kyoto Kyobancha × Uji Matcha Blend

SmoKYO is a smoky matcha powder crafted in Kyoto by blending Kyobancha (traditional smoked Japanese tea) with stone-milled Uji matcha. Not roasted like hojicha, but guided by natural smoke, this 20g tin makes approximately 10 servings.

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

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

Born in Kyoto,
where two quiet traditions meet.

The deep, lingering smoke of Kyobancha —
rarely known outside Japan —
layered with the umami of Uji matcha.

Not Hojicha. Not Roast.

This is not hojicha.
This is not a flavored matcha.

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

The result is warming, grounding, mineral, and dry.

A smoked Japanese tea experience
reinterpreted through matcha.

Taste & Experience

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

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

This is smoky matcha as preference, not performance.
