From Everyone’s Tea

If you don’t like strong umami then this is not for you.

Shosen is matcha like a house wine at a restaurant. It’s never too expensive and it has a decent quality that you can proudly serve to your guests. It can be a staple tea that you’ll always want to have on your shelf.

The significant allure of Shosen is rich umami. You can tell it by the sweet aroma like chestnuts. This tea is definitely different from some matcha with only grassy bitterness. Shosen has bitter taste, too, but it is not harsh at all. It beautifully merges into the umami and creates a depth behind the pleasurable sweet note. In the same price range, it will be difficult to find the matcha with such delight umami.

Matcha Shosen shows the complex aromatics of umami with a wonderful balance of richness and fullness accompanied by sweetness and subtle bitterness.
It is definitely one of those few inexpensive Matcha which makes a perfect everyday treat, provided that you enjoy a rich umami flavor
