Fukujuen is also nationally quite famous.
It seems tea bag of flavored green tea (such as bananas green tea) has been enhanced.

There is a shop in Daimaru Kyoto, Kyoto Station cube, Kyoto Porta.

Iemon salon seems to use the tea of Fukujuen.

Uji is famous for its tea. (Kyoto a little away from the city)
Nakamura Tokichi head office and Ito Kyuemon head office might be famous.
Nakamura Tokichi head office is also in JR Kyoto Isetan 2F & 3F.

Ito Kyuemon is near Kyoto Station.

Just about every store in Shinkyogoku or other touristy area will have green tea for sale. Unless you're looking for the expensive and ultra high grade stuff there's no need to go to a specialty store.

if you want to present you find in Lupicia very good teas in very unique and beautiful packaging.
Lupicia Kyoto Teramachi Sanjo
中京区寺町通三条上ル天性寺前町530
Kyoto, 京都府

but as you are in Kyoto, you can catch a train and go to UJI, it is very close and there you will find the best green tea japan.
