Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Zuiho Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Zuiho
Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Zuiho (瑞鳳), translating to "Auspicious Phoenix," is a prestigious ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, a venerable tea producer from Uji, Kyoto, with a legacy spanning over 450 years. Named by the 11th abbot of Daitokuji, Sekisō Sōho, this matcha embodies the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Japanese tea culture.
Flavour Profile
Zuiho offers a velvety, full-bodied flavour with smooth and mellow notes, culminating in a creamy, sweet aftertaste and a refreshing finish. When prepared as usucha (thin tea), it transforms into a lighter, sweet, and creamy tea with a rich, lasting fullness.
Aroma & Texture
This matcha exudes a fresh and grassy 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 koicha (thick tea), Zuiho's balanced flavour profile also makes it suitable for usucha (thin tea) and matcha lattes, offering a touch of authentic Japanese matcha to various preparations.
