Yamamasa Koyamaen Shikibu no Mukashi

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐛𝐮 𝐧𝐨 𝐌𝐮𝐤𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 – 𝐔𝐦𝐚𝐦𝐢-𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡, 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐲 & 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝

Named after the refined traditions of the Heian court, Shikibu no Mukashi offers an exquisite matcha experience that honours its ceremonial roots. Deeply savoury with soft roasted seed notes and a silky finish, this blend is ideal for both usucha and koicha, while also adapting beautifully into lattes for a luxuriously creamy, umami-forward cup.

This is a matcha for those who appreciate nuance — not loud or flashy, but rich in elegant softness that lingers.
