TAGASHIRA CHAHO Saga no Mukashi Uji Matcha – Ceremonial Grade, Hand-Picked, Stone-Milled, 100% Japan

Elevate your tea ritual with Saga no Mukashi

Saga no Mukashi is a ceremonial grade Uji matcha crafted for koicha, the thick and rich tea that honors traditional Japanese tea art. Sourced from the renowned Uji region, it begins as hand-picked first harvest leaves and is slowly stone-milled to preserve a deep green hue and an inviting, nuanced aroma. The result is a powder that invites quiet focus and mindful tasting, whether you pursue a meditative moment or a refined ceremonial setting.

This 30 g (1.06 oz) pack contains 100% pure Uji matcha with no additives, sugar, or preservatives. Every step, from the field to the final packaging, occurs in Japan to ensure authenticity and consistency. Our philosophy, Shoku-do-gen, blends the idea that food and medicine share a common origin with everyday enjoyment, guiding products that feel special yet approachable in daily life.

What makes Saga no Mukashi special

• Premium ceremonial grade crafted for Koicha: a dense, flavorful cup that carries depth and subtle astringency.
• Rare hand-picked first harvest and stone-milled quality: leaves processed with care to retain color and aroma.
• 100% pure Uji matcha, made in Japan: no additives, ensuring a clean, true tea experience.
• Authentic tea ceremony experience: shines in Koicha, yet remains excellent for Usucha (thin tea) for contemplative moments.
• Aligned with the Shoku-do-gen philosophy: everyday tea that feels meaningful and flavorful.

Two ways to enjoy Saga no Mukashi

• Koicha: whisk a small amount with a little hot water to concentrate texture and flavor.
• Usucha: whisk vigorously with more water for a smoother, lighter cup.

Storage and care: keep the powder in a cool, dark place and use promptly after opening to preserve color and aroma. With Saga no Mukashi, you’re invited to pause, inhale the scent, and savor the moment without expectations—just possibilities for a refined tea ritual.
