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 damages on the leaves caused by the shading material. This allows the plant to grow freely the leaves are machine harvested.

FLAVOR PROFILE

Extremely easy to foam up! Hatsu Mukashi leaves a pleasant and rich taste of cooked spinach and corn in your mouth and throat, combined with a custardy and creamy flavor on your tongue. 

The dark green color, coupled with unique hints of roasted pumpkin seeds and chestnuts, gives way to a beautiful Umami-rich Usucha and Koicha.

Hatsu Mukashi has a thick mouth feeling with a clean finish.
