Hatsu Mukashi

by Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi Sannyu Honten三星園上林三入本店

初昔

A distinguished ceremonial matcha reflecting centuries of Japanese tea craftsmanship. Delivers a delicate balance of umami, mellow sweetness, and a smooth lingering finish. The fresh, vegetal aroma carries subtle nutty hints, and the ultra-fine silky powder produces a vibrant jade green bowl.

Editorial verdict

Classic Uji ceremonial character with a refined balance of umami and mellow sweetness — a traditional blend rooted in the house's shogunate heritage.
