Matcha Seijo no Shiro

Powdered green tea favoured by Zabosai, the 16th generation grand tea master of Urasenke

Seijo no Shiro is a gently pleasant tea of unique quality with a particularly mild taste. It has a well-balanced and moderate, yet fresh, light and green aroma. Its refined and cultivated taste should be experienced as a koicha. It much prefers lower temperature brewing water.

The meaning of Seijo no Shiro "清浄の白" :
"Seijou" represents purity and cleanliness, free from worldly desires, depicting a pristine and untainted state like pure white. The Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo wrote that the murmuring of streams represents the voice of Buddha's teachings, and the scenery of mountains embodies the pure form of Buddha.
Rather than belonging to an ideal world, “purity of mind” is said to instead exist within our hearts, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of nature in our everyday lives.

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

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.

A bitter matcha. Requires a little experimenting to make it taste just right.
