Produced by Hoshino Seichaen, a tea master with over 70 years of expertise, this tin offers an exceptional ceremonial grade matcha made from carefully shaded, hand picked tencha leaves.

Hakuju is an exclusive matcha from Hoshino Seichaen. This exceptional matcha, crafted from the rare "Shiracha" (White tea tree) variety, offers a delicate balance of strong umami flavour and a creamy, mild taste with a refreshing finish. Due to the type of the tea leaves, its green colour is much lighter than normal matcha as its name 'white matcha'  suggests.

Due to its limited cultivation, this matcha is available in limited quantities. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this unique and exquisite blend.
