Matcha Powder Kashin no Mukashi from Kanbayashi Shunsho 20g

Kashin no Mukashi (Ceremonial Matcha)

A refined ceremonial-grade matcha personally selected by the 16th grand tea master of the Urasenke school, Zabōsai Sōshō of Konnichian.

Kashin no Mukashi is an exceptional koicha (thick tea) blend created for use in the most formal tea gatherings. It is characterized by a deep, elegant umami, a silky mouthfeel, and a lingering sweetness that unfolds with each sip. This matcha expresses the grace and harmony sought in Urasenke-style tea ceremonies, making it a favored choice for seasoned practitioners and special occasions.

Compared to other ceremonial blends, Kashin no Mukashi is remarkably smooth, with minimal bitterness and a vibrant green hue. It is best enjoyed as koicha, where its depth and balance can be fully appreciated. Not intended for culinary use.

This product is available in either a can or a box packaging. The packaging type will be selected at random and cannot be chosen at the time of purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
