Hana no Shiro (Ceremonial Matcha)
A graceful usucha (thin tea) personally selected by the 15th grand tea master of the Urasenke school, Hōunsai Daisōshō of Konnichian.

Hana no Shiro is a refined ceremonial-grade matcha designed for preparation as usucha, the lighter and more casual form of matcha enjoyed in everyday tea gatherings. This blend features a smooth, elegant flavor profile with soft umami, delicate sweetness, and minimal bitterness. Its name, meaning “White Blossom,” evokes images of purity, refinement, and the seasonal beauty celebrated in the Japanese tea tradition.

The tea's bright green color and gentle aroma make it an ideal choice for those who value both visual and sensory harmony. Suitable for daily enjoyment or as an introduction to the Urasenke way of tea, Hana no Shiro offers a serene and approachable matcha experience.
