HATSU MUKASHI
40G
Hatsu Mukashi from Ippodo Tea is a high-quality Japanese green tea that’s known for its rich and smooth flavor profile. Hatsu Mukashi is a great choice if you're into green teas with a more rounded, balanced flavor rather than something super brisk or astringent. It’s easy to drink, yet complex enough to enjoy slowly and savor.
Hatsu mukashi is popular and many likes for its smoothness—it’s not overly astringent, which is a common feature of lesser quality senchas. It’s mellow, but still complex enough to be interesting.

Horai no mukashi (20g)
A balanced richness with an elegant taste. It features a subtle bitterness reminiscent of spring vegetables, offering a complex flavour experience in every sip.
Ikuyo no mukashi (30g)
Ikuyo is a medium-bodied matcha with a refreshing bitterness that is slightly more noticeable than its sweetness and umami.
Tasting Notes Ikuyo is a balanced matcha with astringency, umami, and sweetness in proportion. Its medium-light body is joined by a gentle, but bright aroma, like sun-dried straw. As usucha, it is a good option for everyday teatime, served straight and with cookies, cakes, or other sweets. One of our top recommendations for a matcha latte, Ikuyo has slight astringency that pairs well with the milk, and its bright green color makes for a photogenic beverage.
