We can provide this kind of ice cream because we are an authentically-oriented tea shop.

At our tea shop we use only the highest-quality tea leaves, which have a distinct umami taste.

Feel free to try out our authentic ice cream!

”Uji Matcha”


Do you know koicha (thick matcha tea) ?
Unlike the matcha green tea that is ordinarily drank, koicha is a thick matcha green tea.
If you don’t choose matcha green tea that has good quality and rich taste, then it won’t be delicious with just being bitter and astringent.
On the contrary, there is a tea called usucha (thin tea).Since it is usually what most people drink, you can enjoy it with everyone else.
Kyoto Rikyuen’s high-quality matcha ice cream is called “koicha” by customers because of its strong taste. (Eventually this became the official product name)
Our one-of-a-kind high-quality matcha ice cream “koicha” will make you feel that you are drinking matcha green tea.

High-quality “Kuro Hoji”


Hojicha (Roasted green tea) at Kyoto Rikyuen is just a little bit different.
Being roasted again and again, two sorts of hojicha(roasted green tea) were blended to make the one-of-a-kind luxury teas.
We have pursued this delicious taste by blending several kinds of tea leaves produced in the Kinki region, Kyoto, Asamiya, and so on.
It is the most popular in the Kyoto Rikyuen tea selection.
An ice cream that has used such premium hojicha(roasted green tea) is truly worthy of being called high-quality “Kurohoji”.

Asamiya is known as one of the five major productions areas for tea leaves in Japan. 
Those in the tea industry regard this tea as being truly high-quality.
The strong, delicious, and astringent taste is characteristic of the tea.
Therefore, the thoroughly blended tea’s hidden taste is used very often.
Often this tea that is used for blending is referred to as Uji tea.

It is black tea leaves that were gathered at Asamiya, the “Asamiya Tea”.
Besides that, because we use organic tea leaves production is limited to 500 kilograms per year. It is so rare that it has come to be known as “Phantom Tea”.
