- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Traditionally Shaded · Floral & Silky · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description 森ノ白 — Mori no Shiro. Mori (森) means forest, and shiro (白), traditionally used in tea naming to denote usucha, tea made by the old "white" processing method, speaks to purity, lightness, and clarity. Together, the name evokes dappled light falling through ancient tea gardens: clean, luminous, and quietly composed. It is a name that speaks to what this matcha is, something that belongs to a world of quiet, cultivated beauty. Some matcha is grown. Mori no Shiro is cultivated, tended in centuries-old full-shade gardens in Uji, Kyoto, by one of Japan's most revered tea houses, using methods unchanged since the Muromachi era. This is a matcha that carries history in every gram. Crafted from Ujihikari and Samidori cultivars, it opens with a gentle floral cover aroma, delicate, composed, unmistakably Uji. On the palate, it delivers fine silk texture, a clean natural sweetness, and a depth of character that reveals itself slowly. Elegant rather than bold. Refined rather than intense. A matcha that asks you to slow down and pay attention.
