Matcha is Ground from shade-cultivated tea leaves, and rich in theanine, an amino acid responsible for matcha's full-bodied mellow sweetness, which is called umami in Japan. Generally, the higher the grade, the richer the umami taste.
For those who want a taste of fine matcha at a mid-level price, Ikuyo-no-mukashi is an excellent choice.
With enough umami to represent the true character of matcha, Ikuyo-no-mukashi is the perfect starting point for first-time matcha drinkers.
This matcha was named by Hounsai Sosho XV, the great grand master of the Ura-Senke family of tea masters.
Enjoy a richer time with matcha, which is invigorating and full of nutrients, and therefore, is the perfect drink to rejuvenate your mind and body.
