The Pinnacle of Matcha Excellence
Kyou no Mukashi is among the most exquisite matcha powders available- a true connoisseur’s choice. Expertly blended from handpicked, shade-grown tea leaves in Uji, Japan, it combines the best of the Samidori and Saemidori cultivars to create a matcha of remarkable depth, balance, and refinement.
The result is a luxuriously smooth texture, layered umami richness, and a delicately sweet finish that lingers long after your last sip. Its flavor profile evokes the creamy decadence of matcha ice cream, with the elegance of top-grade Japanese tea. A vibrant, deep emerald hue reflects its exceptional quality and precise cultivation.
Perfect for moments when only the very best will do- Kyou no Mukashi isn’t just matcha. It truly is an experience.
