Special tea blend made to commemorate Sen no Rikyū from Kanbayashi Shunsho
A matcha blend commemorating the 400th anniversary of Sen no Rikyū, the most impactful influencer of chanoyu.
This tea is favored by Hōunsai, the 15th-generation grand tea master of Urasenke.
Recommended for making thick tea (koicha).
This tea stands out as a koicha. It is rich in full-bodied umami and vanilla custard notes which are intertwined with the deep verdant note of spinach and spiced up with a hint of walnut.
As a thin tea (usucha), it is soft and light with the persistent presence of vanilla aromas with sweet nectary aftertaste.

HOW TO PREPARE
As Koicha:
STEP 1) Put 4g (0.8 US tsp, 2 teaspoon or 4 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 30 ml (1 fl oz) 85℃ (185°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Gently mix with a chasen (tea whisk) until creamy.
As Usucha:
STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 75 ml (2.4 fl oz) 85℃ (185°F) water over the matcha powder.
STEP 3) Whisk with a chasen (tea whisk) until foamy.
❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

By far my favorite matcha to make without sweetener! Definitely gonna repurchase once it’s restocked.

This matcha had some depth in flavor and a lingering taste. This definitely has umami as well as a touch of bitterness. It reminds me me of a very dark chocolate with walnuts.

Upon opening the tin, a wonderful aroma of creamy custard greets me. A very brief astringent note is met upon sipping, that gives way to a pleasant umami that my palette reads as a savory tomato. There is also a hint of natural sweetness that is reminiscent of fresh sweet asparagus. Overall, a very good first impression from Kanbayashi Shunsho.

This is the best matcha I've tasted so far. It is expensive but I can taste why.

This matcha is top one in my list at the moment. It’s creamy as I personally like it in lattes. The flavor is incredible, very umami, slightly sweet but I think it’s the vanilla notes in it. I would purchase the 200g once I finished the tin I have now!
Sh******, 2025-01-06 03:37 JST, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
I can taste the umami whatever that is and it doesnt taste bitter at all. Loved it might be a bit too much matcha for a beginner. There isnt much nuttiness. Would order again👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Soumei is a solid matcha with creaminess and no bitter notes. I had this in a matcha latte (4g matcha, 35g water at 175 F, 1/2 cup oat milk, 13g agave) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In a latte, this matcha has notes of spinach, creamy custard, and lots of nuttiness. I didn’t need much sweetener since the powder is naturally very sweet. My fiancé who does not like matcha agrees this was nice as well. For the price, I would not recommend this for matcha lattes. I’d stick with Biwa no Shiro or Aya no Mori.
