Matsusakaya - Biwa no Mukashi Matcha

Founded in Uji in 1843, Matsusakaya Kahachi Honten is a family run tea house with more than 180 years of history. Its founder, Kahachi Matsusaka, cultivated tea across the family’s land in Uji, overseeing every stage from growing and harvesting to processing and distribution. Today, the fourth generation continues this tradition, producing authentic Uji matcha and delivers exceptional quality with a rich, fragrant character.

Biwa no Mukashi is smooth and savoury, with rich umami, gentle sweetness and fresh notes of nori, spring greens and sweet hay, followed by a mild, balanced bitterness.
