Tsuki no Mukashi

Matcha "Tsuki no Mukashi" – 30g
(A Deeply Satisfying Thick Matcha with Fresh Aroma and Rich Flavor)

Tsuki no Mukashi (月の昔), meaning "Moon of Long Ago," is a premium-grade koicha (thick tea) matcha that delivers a deeply rich and luxurious experience. Stone-ground from carefully selected tencha, it is shipped in its freshly milled state to ensure maximum aroma and flavor.

From the moment you open the container, a soft, refined fragrance rises — calming the senses and preparing the spirit. When whisked, it creates a smooth, full-bodied matcha with deep umami, minimal bitterness, and an inviting scent that lingers in the air and on the palate. This tea is ideal for quiet reflection, tea gatherings, or simply indulging in a high-quality moment of peace.

Key Features:

• Made from freshly stone-ground tencha using traditional methods.

• Rich, full-bodied flavor with deep umami and subtle sweetness.

• A soothing, elegant fragrance that enhances the tea ritual.

• Specially suited for koicha (thick tea), but can also be enjoyed as usucha (thin tea).

• A perfect choice for tea ceremony practice or moments of self-care.

How to Prepare Usucha (Thin Matcha):

1. Sift 1–2 grams (about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon) of matcha into a pre-warmed tea bowl (chawan).

2. Heat water to 75–80°C (170–175°F).

3. Add 60–70 ml (2–2.5 oz) of hot water.

4. Whisk vigorously in an "M" or zigzag motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) until a layer of froth appears.

5. Enjoy the smooth, aromatic tea with a light and calming finish.

How to Prepare Koicha (Thick Matcha):

1. Sift 3–4 grams (about 1.5–2 teaspoons) of matcha into your bowl.

2. Use 30–40 ml (1–1.5 oz) of hot water at 70–75°C (158–170°F).

3. Using a chasen, stir slowly in gentle circular motions to make a thick, glossy mixture with no foam.

4. Sip slowly and enjoy the profound depth, natural sweetness, and full-bodied umami.
