Selected for use by the Urasenke grand tea master's household, this 30g tin matcha is designed to the exacting standards of Urasenke's thin tea tradition: smooth umami, gentle sweetness, balanced bitterness, and a clean, bright finish. A reliable choice for practitioners of the Urasenke school or any ceremonial usucha context.

The Urasenke-endorsed ceremonial thin tea from one of Japan's oldest Uji tea houses. The quality and school pedigree speak for themselves — recommended for ceremony use and serious practice alike.

About the brand
共栄製茶株式会社
Kyoei Seicha (共栄製茶株式会社) is the company behind the celebrated Morihan (森半) brand — one of Japan's most storied tea houses, founded in 1836 (Tenpo 7) by Morishita Hansaemon in Ogura-cho, Uji, Kyoto, the very birthplace of gyokuro. Today operating under representative Morishita Yasuhiro with approximately 105 employees, Kyoei Seicha manufactures and sells matcha, green tea, coffee, and black tea under multiple brands including Morihan, Minton, and MJB. Their Morihan matcha lineup is exceptional in depth: it spans single-cultivar ceremonial teas (Hoshun, Asatsuyu, Komakage), tea-school-endorsed ceremony grades for both Omotesenke and Urasenke, organic JAS-certified Uji and Kyoto Minamiyamashiro matchas, and accessible everyday practice grades. Kyoei Seicha has won the National Tea Judging Competition championship twice and received the Agricultural Minister's Award. They pioneered cold-brewed 'ice tea' (kooricha) in the 1930s and claimed the world's first foaming matcha latte. In 2023, they opened TEA SQUARE MORIHAN, a matcha café and heritage tea space in Uji.
