Hatsu Mukashi

Discover Hatsu Mukashi by Shogyokuen, a refined Japanese matcha now available at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the celebrated tea fields of Uji, Kyoto—Japan’s birthplace of matcha—this first-harvest tea embodies centuries of craftsmanship. Its name, meaning “First Ancient,” evokes tradition while offering a fresh, modern ritual for your everyday moments of calm.

Hatsu Mukashi opens with a smooth, velvety umami that balances gentle sweetness with a subtle undercurrent of bitterness, creating a layered taste that lingers gracefully on the palate. Its bright green color and delicate aroma reflect the care of shade-growing and stone-milling, hallmarks of Shogyokuen’s expertise.

Versatile yet refined, this matcha can be whisked into a frothy usucha for a daily tea ritual, prepared as a richer koicha for special occasions, or blended into lattes for a modern twist. Whether enjoyed alone or shared, Hatsu Mukashi offers an elevated way to pause, recharge, and reconnect with the beauty of tradition.
