一保堂茶舗 京都本店
Ippodo Tea began in 1717. Its name was bestowed by Prince Yamashina, pleased with the tea, and means roughly 'keep to one tea'. The shop's orange label survives from its Meiji-era days as a wholesale exporter of green tea. Upstairs, brewing classes (¥4,950) cover matcha, gyokuro, sencha and bancha, with tickets bought in advance on the official site; downstairs, the Kagi tea room lets staff teach you to brew your own. Sencha powder (80 g) costs ¥864, matcha Meimukashi (20 g) ¥3,024, and the top gyokuro Tenkai-ichi (50 g) ¥10,800.
