Marumataen

丸又園株式会社丸又園

Marumataen (丸又園) is a Uji-region tea wholesale house in Kizugawa, Kyoto — the Yamashiro district that supplies much of the raw leaf behind "Uji tea" branding. Founded in 1853 (some of the shop's own marketing rounds this to "150 years"), it opened a retail storefront in 1970 and began online sales in 2003. Stone-ground matcha sits alongside sencha and gyokuro in its catalogue, sold direct through its own webshop and a Rakuten storefront, with prices in the ¥570–¥5,940 range for 30–100g.

Brand story

A 産地問屋 (production-area wholesaler) rather than a single-garden estate — Marumataen sources leaf from contracted farms and the Kyoto tea market rather than growing all of it itself, then stone-grinds and blends it under its own can names (Asagiri, Hatsugasumi, Zuiko). Its top matcha, Zuiko, names three named cultivars (Asahi, Uji Hikari, Samidori) rather than a single-cultivar story, consistent with a blending house's approach to consistency across harvests.
