Shoin no Mukashi is a 20g box of matcha from Ippodo, the storied Kyoto tea purveyor, offering a deeply satisfying green tea experience. This fine powder is prized for its velvet-smooth mouthfeel, a heavy, rounded sweetness, and a rich, mature flavor that only comes with careful blending. It's the kind of tea that settles the mind in quiet moments, and it makes a thoughtful choice when welcoming guests.
Matcha holds a special place in Japanese tea culture, where select leaves are ground into a vibrant, comforting drink. This blend pairs beautifully with seasonal wagashi like kinton and nerikiri. For a twist, try what Ippodo's own staff recommend: whisk it into a small amount of hot water until thick, then pour it over vanilla ice cream for a matcha affogato.
