Matcha Powder Gokumukashi from Kanbayashi Shunsho 20g

Goku Mukashi (Ceremonial Matcha)

Goku Mukashi, meaning "to master matcha," is the highest-grade tea in the Kanbayashi usucha portfolio.

This matcha offers a captivating piney and marine aroma, hinting at the silky, earthy, and woodsy flavours that unfold on the palate. Its essence is light, almost translucent, with a crystal-clear sweetness that enchants with its infinite softness and delicate layers of flavour. The long-lasting sweet aftertaste evokes the feeling of being whisked away to a serene, fragrant pine forest. A truly unique experience, Goku Mukashi delivers a comforting and heartfelt flavour that lingers beautifully.
