Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten "Baba Mukashi" (祖母昔) Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha (40g Sealed Tin)

🍵 The Shogun's Heritage: The Story of Baba Mukashi

• The Imperial Origin: According to legend, the grandmother of the first-generation head of the Kanbayashi family was an absolute genius at blending tea. The Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu loved her blend so much he affectionately nicknamed it "Baba-cha" (Grandma's Tea). As a reward, he granted the family a prestigious tea plantation and named the tea blend "Baba Mukashi".

• An Exclusive Name: This specific blend title is historically restricted and legally protected, permitted for use only by the Kanbayashi lineage.

• Designed for Koicha (Thick Tea): While lower grades taste incredibly bitter if made thick, Baba Mukashi is a true Koicha grade. It features a heavy, profoundly savory, deep umami flavor profile with a sweet, velvet-like finish and zero harsh astringency.
