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.

Musubi-no-shiro has a mild taste, with just the right amount of astringency. With its light taste and pleasant aftertaste that fades quickly, it's also a good choice for people trying matcha for the first time.

This matcha was named by Jimyosai-sosho XIV, the great grand master of the Omote-Senke family of tea masters.
