Hijiri Mukashi

Hijiri Mukashi by Kanbayashi Shunsho

Sacred depth. Timeless character.

Step into the heart of Japanese tea tradition with Hijiri Mukashi (“Sacred of the Past”) — a ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by the legendary Kanbayashi Shunsho tea house of Kyoto. Rich in heritage and complexity, this matcha offers a profoundly grounding experience for those who seek depth and harmony in every cup.

Hijiri Mukashi is bold yet balanced, with a deep umami, subtle earthy notes, and a long, resonant finish. Its color is a deep, vibrant green, and when whisked, it forms a dense, silky crema — a testament to the quality of its first-harvest, shade-grown leaves.

This is a matcha for quiet moments, thoughtful rituals, and those who appreciate a more full-bodied, traditional flavor. Whether used in tea ceremony or personal practice, Hijiri Mukashi is a sacred tribute to the past, carried forward in every sip.

Why you’ll love it:

• Ceremonial-grade matcha with bold umami and earthy depth
• Long, smooth finish with subtle bitterness and elegance
• Stone-ground from premium first-harvest Uji tencha
• Crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho, one of Kyoto’s oldest tea houses
