Matsu

Matsu by Shohokuen – Premium Japanese Matcha Powder

Elevate your matcha ritual with Matsu, a refined ceremonial-grade matcha from Shohokuen, available exclusively at Ujicha Matcha. Grown in the fertile soils of Uji—the historic heart of Japanese tea—this first-harvest matcha is crafted using tender, shade-grown tea leaves picked at their peak. The result is a vibrant, jade-green powder with a luxuriously smooth mouthfeel and a balanced flavor profile that harmonizes rich umami with subtle sweetness and a whisper of refined bitterness. A delicate, fresh aroma rounds out the experience, offering a moment of calm with every sip.

Matsu is exceptionally versatile—perfect for preparing traditional usucha (thin tea) or indulgent koicha (thick tea). Its silky texture and deep flavor also make it a beautiful choice for a sophisticated matcha latte or premium culinary creations, though it truly shines when enjoyed in its purest form.

Whether you’re starting your morning with a grounding ritual or savoring a peaceful afternoon pause, Matsu brings elegance, intention, and authenticity to your wellness routine. From its heritage production in Uji to its rich, multi-dimensional taste, Matsu invites you to slow down, sip mindfully, and embrace the art of matcha.
