450 Years of Kyoto Tradition: Step into the historic legacy of Uji with Biwa no Shiro. Handcrafted by the revered 15th-generation house of Kanbayashi Shunsho, this premium ceremonial usucha holds deep historical roots. It is proudly named after the ancient Biwa tea garden—one of the seven legendary gardens established by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Stone-milled from pristine first-flush spring leaves, it opens with an irresistible sweet milk caramel aroma and handles with a beautifully silky, multi-faceted texture.
Nutty & Dynamic Complexity: Features a highly comforting macadamia and cashew nuttiness, leaving a sweet, nutty finish that lingers beautifully on the palate.
Naturally Rich & Balanced: Offers a much deeper, mellower umami than standard grades, flowing seamlessly with zero harsh bitterness.
Daily Ritual: While traditionally cherished as a formal thin tea (usucha), its balanced character cuts effortlessly through milk to form an elevated latte or upgrade premium desserts.
