Matcha “Chiyo Mukashi”
This is an excellent quality Matcha used extensively in teahouses throughout Japan. As a classic Koicha (thick-style) Matcha, this tea is known for its sweet and sophisticated texture and flavour. Chiyo mukashi means “1000 generations” and is a thoughtful reminder of the many valuable achievements of those who have come before us. The tea is rich with an intense, green colour and sweet, aromatic aftertaste. It comes in a 200 g (7 oz) hermetically, double-sealed tin.
Price range: ¥4,375 through ¥145,800
