Shogyokuen Spring Harvest Premium Ceremonial Grade Matcha

Toyomukashi, literally the "rich history", is a matcha with excellent, smooth umami flavour perfect for usucha.
The delicious blend of tencha leaves (tea leaf processed into flakes) by master blender, CEO Hiroshi Kobayashi, has created an exquisite matcha for tea ceremony practitioners.
This is an extremely smooth bright green matcha with a low astringency. There is a balanced umami flavour with delicious sweetness. This matcha is perfect for tea ceremonies and can be used for both Usucha (thin tea) and Koicha (thick tea) preparations.

About the Producer:
Since 1827, Shogyokuen has been refining the highest quality leaves from Kyoto and grinding them into matcha for the aristocracy and samurai elite of Japan.
Today, CEO Hiroshi Kobayashi is one of about 13 people in Japan (and only one in Kyoto) to hold the top rank 10 level for tea leaf appraisal. His ability to judge the qualities of tea leaves and then blend the leaves in the best way, particularly for making matcha, is proven by the many awards won over the years.

I was gifted this Shogyokuen Toyomukashi matcha, and it has completely redefined my understanding of what matcha can be. Upon opening the jar, you're greeted by the freshest, most vibrant green and an incredible aroma of pure chlorophyll. The taste is beautifully subtle yet profound—smooth, rich, and without any bitterness. Most remarkably, I've never felt such a clean, uplifted sense of well-being after drinking any other matcha. This is not just matcha; it's more than that. I would never buy any other matcha brand than Tencha—there’s simply no going back. Thank you for bringing this exceptional gem to the UK. A true standout.
I really enjoyed this match, the freshness and taste is super nice to make matcha latter
I'm a massive fan of Matcha but I been having trouble to find good quality or good graded ones . I was almost convinced when I tasted Culniary grade . No . Tencha is a MUST buy brand . Great quality
My order arrived and it came with an appreciation card. They really take care of their customers.
I have already made my own matcha latte
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your feedback
I've always been a fan of matcha, and my local cafe serves a really good one. But finding a high-quality matcha for home use has been a challenge. I've tried a few other brands, but they just don't compare. I've been searching online, trying to avoid falling for marketing or social media hype. For weeks now I had been scouring the internet, and then…it was like stumbling upon a hidden gem - a place with great products, at reasonable prices, and fantastic quality. So many varieties of Matcha. They also offer a bunch of traditional teas, including mugicha, which I've always wanted to try. And to my surprise, they had it! I'm sitting down right now with my matcha in hand and it's honestly the best I've had yet. It's so fresh and and bursting with flavour. Safe to say you’ve gained a new loyal customer. Thank you, Tencha!! 🍃💛
Thank you for the review! Really pleased to know you are happy with your purchases :)
I have tried a range of matchas but this is the best I’ve ever had. Upon opening it smelled naturally so sweet, with a hint of creaminess. The colour was a vivid green. The flavour profile is where it shined it was sweet, with a lovely nutty flavour (think almost a roasted nut taste). The texture of the powder is very smooth and it makes the most satisfying matcha I’ve had. It really has opened a world of the complexity of flavour that can be experienced from matcha.
Thank you so much for leaving a review Lydia. So glad you like this matcha. It's a personal favorite!
