Marukyu Koyamaen Chigi no Shiro 40g | Kisshomori

Refined Calm from Uji, Kyoto

Chigi no Shiro (千木の白) represents the peak of Marukyu Koyamaen’s ceremonial artistry — a matcha crafted for those who seek purity, balance, and quiet depth.
Its name, meaning “White of the Shrine Ridgepole,” evokes harmony and stillness — the very essence of traditional Japanese tea.

Harvested from Uji’s finest first flush leaves, Chigi no Shiro is meticulously stone-milled to a delicate powder with a vivid jade-green hue.
The aroma is soft and clean, while the taste unfolds layers of gentle umami and natural sweetness, leaving no trace of bitterness.

Taste & Experience

• Flavor: smooth, mild umami, light floral notes, creamy texture

• Color: pure jade green with silky froth

• Mouthfeel: round, balanced, serene

Perfect for koicha (thick ceremonial tea), yet equally elegant for modern daily rituals — a moment of calm in your everyday routine.

How to Prepare

1. Sift 2g (½ tsp) of matcha into a bowl

2. Add 60–70ml water at 80°C (176°F)

3. Whisk briskly with a chasen until a fine foam forms

4. Enjoy as usucha (light tea) or blend with milk for a calm matcha latte
