Kanbayashi Shunsho - Premium Ceremonial Matcha Hatsu Mukashi

The Kanbayashi Shunsho family is one of Uji’s most esteemed tea producers, carrying a legacy of more than fifteen generations dating back to the Eiroku era (around 1560). Today, the Kanbayashi Shunsho family remains the sole surviving lineage of Uji’s historic tea masters, upholding over 450 years of tradition. Their enduring commitment to craftsmanship and quality continues to define their celebrated approach to tea.

Matcha Hatsu Mukashi is the highest grade from the historic tea maker Kanbayashi Shunsho.

This matcha is bold and full bodied, with notes of dark chocolate, cream, and subtle fruit, finishing long and smooth. It feels silky and gradually builds in depth, revealing a rich sweetness and strong umami.

It stands out as the most intense and full flavoured matcha in the lineup, a true gourmet tea.

The aroma opens with fresh, tropical fruit notes, and the experience ends with a deep sense of satisfaction and lingering pleasure.
