Ryō (涼), meaning "coolness," is Kanbayashi Shunsho's summer-only matcha — made for the hottest days of the year, when a bowl of hot usucha loses its appeal. A carefully selected tencha base gives it a fragrance profile unlike their standard ceremonial lineup: an unusually toasted, nutty aroma reminiscent of peanuts that opens up further once whisked over ice. Available June through September, while stock lasts.
Why Ryō?
- Peanut-toasted aroma: An extremely fragrant tencha base gives Ryō a distinctive roasted, nutty scent that's rare among ceremonial-grade matchas.
- Built for ice: Whisked with ice cubes instead of straight hot water, it turns remarkably creamy and full-bodied rather than thin or watery.
- Easy on bitterness: A smooth, mellow cup that stays approachable even served cold.
- Summer only: Kanbayashi Shunsho releases Ryō for a single season each year — this batch is available from June to September, while stock lasts.
- Best for: Iced usucha and matcha lattes, and anyone who collects Kanbayashi Shunsho's seasonal releases.

Step 2: Pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it to 80°C (176°F), then pour 100 ml (2 oz) into tea bowl.
Step 3: Whisk vigorously 15 seconds, making an "M" shape.
Step 4: Add 100 ml (3.4 oz) of warmed or foamed milk into mug.
Usucha (thin tea)
The standard matcha whisking method, made to be a normal, liquid consistency.
Step 1: Sift 2g (0.07 oz) of matcha (1.5 heaped tea ladles or 1 level teaspoon.)
Step 2: Pour boiling water into a teacup to cool it to 80°C (176°F), then pour 60 ml (2 oz) into tea bowl.
Step 3: Whisk vigorously 15 seconds, making an "M" shape.
Koicha (thick tea)
Matcha made into a rich, thick paste by using less water and more matcha powder per serving.
Step 1: Sift 4 g (0.14 oz) of matcha (3 heaping tea ladles or 2 level teaspoons.)
Step 2: Cool boiling water to 80°C (176°F) in teacup, then pour 30 ml (1 oz) into bowl, just covering matcha powder.
