HOT ! Japanese Shogyokuen \"Izumi no Shiro\" Ceremonial Matcha from Uji, Kyoto

Indulge in Izumi no Shiro—a rare ceremonial-grade matcha from Kyoto’s legendary Shogyokuen tea house. Hand-selected spring harvest leaves, stone-milled to perfection by one of Japan’s only 10th-rank tea masters, deliver a velvety-smooth umami unlike anything you’ve tasted.

Izumi no Shiro (“White of the Wellspring”), is a lush, premium ceremonial-grade matcha blend crafted by Hiroshi Kobayashi, one of only 13 tea masters in Japan to hold the prestigious 10th-rank tea appraisal certification.

Why This Matcha Stands Apart:

• 
  

  First-Flush Spring Harvest — Made exclusively from tender shade-grown leaves picked at their peak.

  
  


• 
  

  Stone-Milled in Small Batches — Preserves vibrant jade color, delicate aroma, and rich umami.

  
  


• 
  

  Expertly Balanced Flavor — Creamy, smooth, and vegetal-sweet with a gentle astringency—perfect for both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea).

  
  


• 
  

  Authentic Uji Kyoto Origin — Grown and processed in Japan’s most revered matcha region.

  
  

How to Prepare:Sift 1–2 g into your chawan, add ~70 ml of water at 80–85 °C, and whisk until a fine foam appears. Enjoy slowly, honoring ichi-go ichi-e—the Japanese art of cherishing each moment.

Storage & Shelf Life:Store sealed, away from heat, moisture, and light. Best consumed within 6–8 weeks after opening for peak flavor.

A Rare IndulgenceLimited production and expert craftsmanship make \"Izumi no Shiro\" one of the finest matcha experiences available. For connoisseurs, this is more than tea—it’s a connection to centuries of Japanese tradition.
