PRODUCT DETAILS

This truly delicious blend of Tencha leaves (tea leaf processed into flakes) is named Hatsu Mukashi and has a rich Umami flavor combined with natural sweetness, warm, nutty notes, and settled vegetal flavors.

Hatsu Mukashi has been shaded under a canopy, not directly, to prevent damage to the leaves caused by the shading material. This allows the plant to grow freely, and the leaves are machine harvested.

FLAVOR PROFILE

Discover the allure of Hatsu Mukashi, a matcha that effortlessly foams to perfection. Every sip envelops you with the comforting tastes of cooked spinach and corn, leaving a resonant impression on both mouth and throat. Relish in its custardy, creamy texture that dances delightfully on the tongue. The enchanting dark green hue sets the stage for unique undertones of roasted pumpkin seeds and chestnuts, culminating in an Umami-rich experience perfect for both Usucha and Koicha. Hatsu Mukashi promises a matcha experience like no other with its thick mouthfeel paired with a pristine finish.
