This ceremonial-grade matcha comes from Kyoto Prefecture, produced from first-harvest leaves, primarily Yabukita and Okumidori cultivars. The powder is finely milled, resulting in a smooth texture and an elegant, refined character.
Appearance & Aroma
The powder has a deep, vivid green color and a fine, uniform texture. The aroma is soft and composed, with gentle vegetal and creamy notes.
Taste Profile
The taste is mellow and rich, with a rounded umami and a smooth mouthfeel. There is no sharp bitterness; instead, the flavor unfolds gradually and leaves a calm, lingering aftertaste. This matcha is well suited for relaxed tea moments as well as serving guests.
This is a composed, elegant matcha for those who value balance and clarity over intensity.
Shirakawado matcha represents a careful balance between traditional Japanese tea evaluation and practical modern use. The line is developed under the guidance of Mr. Hatsuhide Morita, one of Japan’s most respected tea appraisers and a three-time winner of the National Tea Quality Judging Skills Competition, awarded by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries.
