Hana no Shiro

Hana no Shiro by Kanbayashi Shunsho – A Radiant Ritual in Every Sip

Discover Hana no Shiro (“Castle of Flowers”), a luminous, first-harvest matcha by the revered Kanbayashi Shunsho—now available at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the misty hills of Uji, Kyoto, where Japan’s most esteemed tea traditions began, this ceremonial-grade matcha embodies over 450 years of craftsmanship and care.

With a vibrant jade color and an aroma as delicate as fresh spring leaves, Hana no Shiro opens with a smooth, creamy umami that blooms into gentle sweetness, rounded by a whisper of soft astringency. Its velvety texture and floral undertones make every sip feel like a quiet moment of indulgence—a wellness ritual, elevated.

Perfectly suited for usucha (thin tea) or koicha (thick tea), this matcha also adds an elegant depth to lattes, offering a nourishing, jitter-free energy boost. Whether whisked in a traditional chawan or blended into your morning routine, Hana no Shiro is designed for those who savor beauty in the everyday.

What makes Hana no Shiro truly special is its heritage: harvested from shade-grown tencha leaves at peak freshness in Uji, then stone-milled to perfection. It’s not just tea—it’s a gateway to intention, calm, and connection.
