Kanbayashi Shunsho 上林春松 - Hatsumukashi 初昔

Matcha Hatsumukashi is the premier matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, excelling both as usucha and koicha.

In koicha (thick matcha) style, it delivers a bold, full-bodied profile with distinct notes of fruity sweetness, dark chocolate, and a creamy richness, finishing with a long, lingering aftertaste. As usucha (thin matcha), it reveals a velvety smoothness that gradually intensifies, unveiling layers of rich sweetness and powerful umami. Within the lineup of koicha-grade teas, this matcha stands out for its depth and intensity, making it a true gourmet experience.

Upon opening, it greets you with a vibrant, tropical fruit aroma, and after drinking, it leaves a lingering sense of deep satisfaction and pure delight.
