Shohokuen Matcha – Megumi 30 g
Ceremonial‑Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Megumi is a first-harvest Uji matcha produced by Shohokuen, a Uji-based tea house tracing back over 350 years through fourteen generations. Though quietly known outside Japan, Megumi remains a well-kept gem in the world of premium matcha.
🌿 Flavour Profile
- Deep yet refined umami richness, joined by gentle sweetness and mild astringency - balanced and approachable
- Hints of forest greens, soft vegetal undertones, and a clean, lingering finish—ideal for mindful sip every time
Aroma & Texture
- A vibrant emerald-green powder reveals a fresh vegetal aroma upon opening.
- Finely stone-ground, Megumi yields a silky, creamy froth - perfect for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) preparations
Why It Stands Out
- Harvested using Isshin Sannyō (picking three leaves per sprig) for maximum purity and freshness - for a refined taste and steady quality in every tin
- Awarded a global gold medal for matcha quality and consistently praised by international tea connoisseurs
- Often described by users as a “hidden gem,” Megumi delivers quiet excellence outside flash and fuss
Ideal For
- Calm morning usucha bowls with clear, vegetal flavour
- Meditative koicha sessions for deeper umami enjoyment
- Refined matcha lattes or iced beverages - with clean green intensity even when mixed
