Matcha Powder Shoho from Kanbayashi Shunsho 20g

Shōhō (Ceremonial Matcha)
A prestigious koicha (thick tea) personally selected by the 15th grand tea master of the Urasenke school, Hōunsai Daisōshō of Konnichian.

Shōhō is a premium ceremonial-grade matcha created for formal tea gatherings within the Urasenke tradition. With a deep, rounded umami and a refined, mellow sweetness, this blend offers a smooth, lingering flavor that exemplifies harmony and depth. Its name, meaning “Auspicious Treasure,” reflects the tea’s rich character and the reverence with which it is prepared and served.

Ideal for seasoned practitioners and special tea occasions, Shōhō is best enjoyed as koicha, where its full-bodied flavor and creamy texture can be experienced at their finest. The vibrant green color and elegant aroma further enhance the ceremonial atmosphere.
