Matcha Shohaku

Powdered green tea favoured by Hounsai, the 15th generation grand tea master of Urasenke

Shohaku is the best entry-level tea for newcomers to the tea family named in honor of Daisosho Hounsai, the 16th Grandmaster of the Urasenke tea school. It is a highly pleasant tea with a slightly acrid, yet full-bodied taste, with deeper tones as well as a long-lasting, slightly sweet finish. It is a usucha tea with a superb price-quality ratio, made truly spectacular with its refined flavors.

Please note, that Sazen Tea does not keep this product in stock. We get all matcha and tea powder fresh from the factories only after an order is placed for it on our website, and this process can take a few days. Thank you for your patience!

How to prepare

STEP 1) Put 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon or 2 chashaku scoop) matcha powder into a suitable tea bowl.
STEP 2) Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) 80℃ (176°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)

EXTRA TIP
❖ Try iced matcha: pour the finished matcha over ice.

Nice matcha, tastes very similar to Aoarashi but has a seaweed taste and smell a bit sharper than it.

I used 70c of water. Mellow and fresh with a hint of floral fragrance. Middle body, Umami unfold nicely, slightly bitter and leave good sweet aftertaste. The tea is not too complex suitable for everyday cup of tea.

Some of the best matcha I have ever had. This makes Teavana's matcha seem like a bad memory.

This matcha has a nice aroma and color. It is suitable for usucha. The scent while whisking is not as fragrant as some other matcha I have tried from both marukyu koyamaen and other brands. The taste is mild with some bitterness, which is good for an economically priced everyday matcha.
