Izumi no Shiro, literally the "white of the wellspring", is a matcha with excellent, smooth umami flavour perfect for usucha.

This delicious blend of tencha leaves (tea leaf processed into flakes) by master blender, CEO Hiroshi Kobayashi, is an exquisite matcha for tea ceremony practitioners.

This is a beautiful smooth matcha with deep, vivid green colour, mellow astringency and strong umami flavour. Perfect served as ceremonial matcha alongside your choice of wagashi sweets.

Gorgeous matcha!

i got my order of this matcha today and I couldn't be happier, first of all the opening the packaging is an experience in itself. Carefully packaged, I appreciate the personal touches of the notes and instructions, feels like I got a postcard from a friend. Amazing! the matcha itself is bright vivid green in colour. Smells divine. I will only be ordering from tencha from now on surely! Definitely feels like the brand respects the origins of the matcha, Thank you!

Wonderfully enjoyable matcha

THIS, is an excellent matcha. It was recommended to me by the Tencha team when I was trying to orient myself with their matcha range, and it is truly a wonderful tea. There are many other lovely matcha teas in Tencha's range, but this remains my "go to" favourite for everyday matcha enjoyment. And Tencha are always very supportive and pay careful attention to every detail of your experience.
