Hatsu Mukashi by Shokakuen – A Gentle Introduction to Premium Uji Matcha

Begin your matcha journey with Hatsu Mukashi, a beautifully balanced ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by Shokakuen—one of Uji’s most revered tea producers. Grown in the lush, mist-covered tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, this first-harvest matcha offers a smooth, approachable experience perfect for daily rituals or those exploring high-quality Japanese matcha for the first time.

Hatsu Mukashi delights the senses with its soft umami, subtle natural sweetness, and a whisper of pleasant bitterness that brings depth without overpowering. Its vibrant jade-green color and fresh, grassy aroma reflect the purity of its origin and the precision of its stone-milled production.

Whether you're whisking a bowl of usucha (thin tea) to start your day, elevating a matcha latte, or treating yourself to a quiet moment of calm, Hatsu Mukashi fits seamlessly into your wellness routine. Its versatility, gentle flavor, and elegant character make it a joy to prepare—and a delight to sip.
