Ground from shade-cultivated tea leaves, matcha is rich in theanine-an amino acid responsible for matcha's full-bodied mellow sweetness. In Japan, there is a special name for this taste: umami. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste.

Characterized by its rich aroma, full-bodied mellow sweetness, and vivid green color, matcha is a favorite among tea lovers in Japan. Invigorating and full of nutrients, matcha is the perfect drink to rejuvenate your mind and body. It tastes best when served with sweets.

Wakaki-shiro has a refreshing, balanced taste, with just the right amount of astringency. It is a good choice for people who enjoy Matcha daily. It is also excellent as an ingredient in shakes, mueslis or to prepare as Matcha Latte.

This matcha was named by Hounsai Sosho XV, the great master of the Ura-Senke family of tea masters.

This Matcha variety is the same as the 20g pack of Ima-mukashi Matcha, named by the Omote-Senke Tea Master Family.
