Matcha Powder Ryo no Kage from Kanbayashi Shunsho 40g

Ryo no Kage (Ceremonial Matcha)

The name Ryo no Kage was bestowed upon this matcha by the tea master Gen'ensai of the Urasenke tradition, in celebration of Kanbayashi Shunsho XI being granted the honour of presenting matcha to the Imperial Court in the early Meiji period.

This matcha offers a soft, light, and refreshing experience with a creamy, frothy texture. Upon sipping, it first delivers a sweet, milky smoothness, followed by a slightly tart and bitter aftertaste, with subtle hints of nuttiness. At lower temperatures, it can become more bitter, so it is recommended to brew this tea at around 85°C for the best balance of flavours. The overall effect is both refreshing and invigorating.

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.

*Due to the recent surge in demand for matcha, we are experiencing a shortage of cans required for packaging, making it difficult to continue sales as usual. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, but for new orders, we will be providing boxes as a substitute for cans. Thank you for your understanding.
