Senri no Mukashi by Yamamasa Koyamaen
Senri no Mukashi (千里の昔) is a bold, ceremonial-grade matcha from Yamamasa Koyamaen, a distinguished Uji tea house with over 160 years of heritage. This special blend delivers deep, complex flavor and a very smooth, full-bodied umami—perfect for thick tea (koicha). As one enthusiast put it: “This tea is phenomenal. Its umami explodes in the mouth and lasts for an hour.” Ideal for tea gatherings (chaji) or any special occasion, its commanding presence elevates every sip.
