Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Hijiri Mukashi Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Hijiri Mukashi 20 g

Ceremonial‑Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Hijiri Mukashi (“Sacred of the Past”) is a richly expressive ceremonial-grade matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, a revered Uji tea house with over 450 years of craftsmanship. Named by tea master Gen’ensai, it’s tailored for koicha (thick tea) but equally delightful as usucha (thin tea).

🌿 Flavour Profile

• Deep umami richness meeting a smooth, velvety texture
• Gentle sweetness balanced with delicate earthiness
• Subtle notes of nutty cocoa and comforting dark chocolate rounding out the taste

Aroma & Texture

• Proudly delivers a vibrant emerald hue
• Smooth, creamy mouthfeel that forms a stable, frothy layer - whether thin or thick whisked

Why It Stands Out

• Tailored for koicha, with a refined balance of sweetness and a peaceful aftertaste 
• A daily ceremonial matcha that still honours formal tradition and depth of flavour

Perfect For

• Traditional koicha ceremonies
• Creamy usucha enjoyment
• Elevating matcha lattes or modern cold brews with its rich foundation
