Yamamasa Koyamaen Matcha - Senjin 30g Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder

Senjin no Mukashi Matcha is a luxurious blend that combines a rich umami flavour with the distinctive "ooika" aroma, which is characteristic of shade-grown tea leaves. This matcha is crafted using young tea buds, imparting a fresh and vibrant "mirume-ka" fragrance. The result is a matcha with a deep, full-bodied flavour and an inviting aroma, making it a delightful choice for enjoying both in traditional tea ceremonies and at home. Senjin no Mukashi is recommended for use as koicha (thick tea) during tea gatherings, offering a premium experience for discerning matcha enthusiasts.
