Kanbayashi Shunsho - Chiyo no Kotobuki (seasonal matcha)

The Kanbayashi Shunsho family is one of Uji’s most esteemed tea producers, carrying a legacy of more than fifteen generations dating back to the Eiroku era (around 1560). Today, the Kanbayashi Shunsho family remains the sole surviving lineage of Uji’s historic tea masters, upholding over 450 years of tradition. Their enduring commitment to craftsmanship and quality continues to define their celebrated approach to tea.

Chiyo no Kotobuki is a seasonal matcha made from carefully stored tea leaves, freshly ground to celebrate the start of the winter tea season. 

Its full bodied flavour opens with a smooth sweetness, develops into fresh vegetal notes and finishes with a pleasant bitterness, offering a layered experience for those who enjoy a more pronounced matcha flavour.
