Shohokuen Matcha – Matsu (松) Ceremonial Grade 30g

Premium Japanese Matcha Powder

Matsu is the signature ceremonial-grade matcha from Shohokuen, a Uji-based tea house with a legacy dating back over 350 years. Harvested only once per year from shade-grown first-flush tencha in Uji and Jōyō, this matcha delivers refined floral aromatics and balanced flavour in every bowl.

🌿 Flavour Profile

• Lush umami richness with gentle sweetness and low bitterness
• Savoury tasting notes of corn soup, nutty sweetness, and refined vegetal tones
• Clean, elegant finish - ideal for those who appreciate subtle depth

Aroma & Texture

• Powder opens to a light, fresh green scent
• Ultra-fine, stone-ground particles produce a silky, stable froth and smooth mouthfeel in both koicha and usucha styles

Perfect For

• Koicha ceremonies: rich, creamy thick tea bowls
• Usucha: elegant daily whisking with clarity and depth
• Modern lattes or iced brews: delivers vivid green colour and refined flavour even when milked

Why It Stands Out

• Award-winning at the Global Tea Championship 2018, testament to its quality
• Shaded for an average of 40 days before harvest, maximising chlorophyll and theanine content for elevated flavour and health profile
