Shohokuen Matcha – Matsu (松) Ceremonial Grade 30g
Premium Japanese Matcha Powder
Matsu is the signature ceremonial-grade matcha from Shohokuen, a Uji-based tea house with a legacy dating back over 350 years. Harvested only once per year from shade-grown first-flush tencha in Uji and Jōyō, this matcha delivers refined floral aromatics and balanced flavour in every bowl.
🌿 Flavour Profile
- Lush umami richness with gentle sweetness and low bitterness
- Savoury tasting notes of corn soup, nutty sweetness, and refined vegetal tones
- Clean, elegant finish - ideal for those who appreciate subtle depth
Aroma & Texture
- Powder opens to a light, fresh green scent
- Ultra-fine, stone-ground particles produce a silky, stable froth and smooth mouthfeel in both koicha and usucha styles
Perfect For
- Koicha ceremonies: rich, creamy thick tea bowls
- Usucha: elegant daily whisking with clarity and depth
- Modern lattes or iced brews: delivers vivid green colour and refined flavour even when milked
Why It Stands Out
- Award-winning at the Global Tea Championship 2018, testament to its quality
- Shaded for an average of 40 days before harvest, maximising chlorophyll and theanine content for elevated flavour and health profile
