Matcha Shoka no Mukashi
Powdered green tea favoured by Zabosai, the 16th generation grand tea master of Urasenke
Named after the 16th and current Grandmaster of the Urasenke tea school, Shoka no Mukashi is a uniquely delicious koicha tea. Its mild, light, sweet and fabulous, gently dissipating flavor is masterfully refined and has a long-lasting finish. The thicker you brew it, the better.
The meaning of Shoka no Mukashi "松花の昔" :
"Matsunohana" has long been known as the "returning of the pine cones," symbolizing celebration as it is said that pine 'flowers' produce ten times every thousand years. During the Tang Dynasty, a poem by the monk Daibai Hōjō Zenji described, "With lotus leaves in the pond, clothing needs are met, and with Matsunohana (`pine flowers') from several trees, there is plenty to eat."
This conveys the ascetic's philosophy of simplicity and purity in sustenance, suggesting a pure and fulfilling meal.
Please note, that Sazen Tea does not keep this product in stock. We get all matcha and tea powder fresh from the factories only after an order is placed for it on our website, and this process can take a few days. Thank you for your patience!

How to prepare
USUCHA
STEP 1: Place 1.5–2 g (approx. ½ tsp or 2 chashaku (traditional tea scoop)) of matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2: Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) of 80°C (176°F) water over the powder.
STEP 3: Whisk (vigorously) with a chasen (tea whisk) until frothy.
❖ Warm the tea bowl with hot water first, then dry it thoroughly with a cloth. This helps maintain the ideal temperature and brings out the fresh aroma of the matcha.
❖ Sift the matcha powder through a fine strainer before use to prevent clumping (strongly recommended).
❖ Drink the matcha immediately after preparing it, as it may become more bitter as it cools.
❖ After opening the matcha packaging, consume all the tea within one month for the best experience.
KOICHA
STEP 1: Place 3.5–4 g (approx. 1 tsp or 4 chashaku (traditional tea scoop)) of matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2: Pour 30 ml (2.4 fl oz) of 80°C (176°F) water over the powder.
STEP 3: Gently mix with a chasen until creamy.
