Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Biwa no Shiro Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Biwa no Shiro

Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Biwa no Shiro 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 after the historic Biwa tea garden—one of the seven renowned Uji tea gardens established by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu—this matcha embodies centuries of Japanese tea tradition. 

Flavour Profile

Biwa no Shiro offers a complex, multi-layered flavour profile. It presents a dominant nuttiness reminiscent of macadamia and cashew, layered with a deeper, woodsy undertone akin to sandalwood. This combination results in a mellow, umami-rich taste with a lingering sweet and nutty aftertaste.

Aroma & Texture

This matcha exudes an irresistible sweet milk caramel fragrance. Its silky and pampering texture ensures a smooth mouthfeel, enhancing the overall tasting experience.

Versatile Applications

While traditionally prepared as usucha (thin tea), Biwa no Shiro's balanced flavour profile also makes it suitable for matcha lattes and culinary creations, offering a touch of authentic Japanese matcha to various dishes.
