Kotobuki Mukashi (Competition Grade) - 寿昔（濃茶用）

Kotobuki Mukashi represents the pinnacle of matcha craftsmanship from Kitagawa Hanbee Shoten, a Kyoto tea merchant with more than 160 years of history in the Uji tea trade.

Drawing on generations of blending expertise, this matcha reflects the refined style long associated with Kyoto’s tea culture. Produced from carefully selected first harvest leaves and stone-ground to an exceptionally fine texture, it displays a vibrant emerald colour and remarkable aromatic clarity. The flavour profile is deeply layered, offering rich umami, elegant sweetness and a silky mouthfeel with almost no bitterness.

Balanced and expressive, it is well suited for traditional whisked matcha and for those seeking a highly polished experience.
