Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Konomi no Shiro Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Konomi no Shiro
Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Konomi no Shiro (好の白), translating to "Preferred White," is a distinguished ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, a venerable tea producer from Uji, Kyoto, with a legacy spanning over 450 years. Named in honor of Kobori Enshū, a renowned tea master of the Edo period who favoured light-colored, superior-quality teas, this matcha embodies the refined elegance of traditional Japanese tea culture.
Flavour Profile
Konomi no Shiro offers a well-balanced flavour profile characterized by a velvety, smooth texture with pronounced notes of toasted nuts and umami, complemented by a subtle natural sweetness. Its creamy character and minimal astringency make it particularly appealing for daily consumption.
Aroma & Texture
This matcha exudes a comforting aroma with hints of nuttiness. The finely stone-milled powder ensures a smooth and frothy brew, delivering a silky texture that enhances the overall tasting experience.
Versatile Applications
While traditionally prepared as usucha (thin tea), Konomi no Shiro's balanced flavour profile also makes it suitable for matcha lattes and other contemporary preparations, offering a touch of authentic Japanese matcha to various beverages.
