Kanbayashi Shunsho Momoyo no Mukashi 40g – Ceremonial Matcha

Deep. Refined. Quietly ceremonial.

Momoyo no Mukashi (百代の昔) is a traditional ceremonial-grade matcha crafted by the historic tea producer Kanbayashi Shunsho, one of the most respected names in Japanese tea culture. Rooted in the classic tea-making traditions of Kyoto, this matcha is prized for its composure, depth, and restrained elegance.

At Senchoju, we curate matcha not only for flavor—but for authenticity, lineage, and ritual. Momoyo no Mukashi is a matcha designed for those who appreciate formal tea practice, quiet concentration, and layered flavor that unfolds slowly with each sip.

Flavor Profile & Experience

Momoyo no Mukashi reflects a classic Kyoto ceremonial style—balanced yet dignified.

• Umami: Deep and gradual, never overpowering
• Bitterness: Refined and elegant, intentionally present
• Mouthfeel: Clean, dry, and composed
• Finish: Soft, lingering, and weightless

This is not a sweet, beginner-style ceremonial matcha. Instead, it is introspective and disciplined, often favored by experienced tea practitioners and those who value tradition over trend.
