Named after Lady Murasaki Shikibu, author of The Tale of Genji, this mukashi-grade matcha carries the prestige of its namesake. Its outstanding quality enables preparation as both thin tea (usucha) and thick tea (koicha), offering a truly ceremonial experience with refined depth and lingering sweetness.
