Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Izumi no Mukashi Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Izumi no Mukashi (泉の昔)

Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder - 20 g & 40 g tin

Izumi no Mukashi, meaning “Spring of the Past,” is a graceful ceremonial matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, a revered Uji tea house with over 450 years of tea-making heritage. Personally selected by Kōshin Sōkei Sōshō of the Enshū school for daily tea gatherings, this matcha exemplifies elegant simplicity and balanced flavour. (turn0search0)
