Shoun no Shiro Matcha is a distinguished blend, receiving its name from the revered grand master of Urasenke, Hounsai. Carefully selected tencha leaves from Kyoto Prefecture are meticulously ground to create this high-quality matcha. The name "Shoun" was inspired by the pine tree emblem of the company's former trade name, Matsukazedo.
