HOT ! Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha - Seitan no Shiro Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder

Kanbayashi Shunsho Matcha – Seitan no Shiro

Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Seitan no Shiro (青天の白, “Castle of Pure Sky”) is a premium ceremonial matcha from Kanbayashi Shunsho, the 450-year-old Uji tea house renowned for meticulous, small-batch craft. Hand-selected first-harvest tencha is shade-grown, slow-aged and stone-milled to capture the quiet clarity suggested by its name. 

Flavour Profile

• 
  Soft, layered umami up front, followed by a gentle natural sweetness
  


• 
  Crisp, refreshing finish with barely-there astringency – delicate yet satisfying 
  


• Hints of toasted nuts and fresh spring greens add depth without heaviness

Aroma & Texture

• Vibrant jade-green powder releases a clean, verdant aroma when the tin is opened


• Finely stone-ground for a silky mouthfeel and a stable, creamy froth in both usucha (thin tea) and koicha (thick tea) preparations
  

Why It Stands Out

• Personally selected for formal gatherings within the Enshū lineage, reflecting a balance of elegance and depth


• Crafted exclusively from first-flush Uji leaves for peak flavour integrity and colour 
  

Perfect For

• 
  Koicha ceremonies where a smooth, resonant umami is prized


• 
  Refined usucha for mindful daily rituals


• 
  Luxury matcha lattes or chilled whisked drinks that showcase its vivid hue and mild sweetness
