Fukujuen – Sangetsu no Shiro Matcha

20g Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Sangetsu no Shiro (山月の白), meaning “White of the Mountain Moon”, is a ceremonial-grade matcha from Fukujuen, Kyoto’s historic tea house established in 1790. With a bright yet refined character, this matcha captures the serenity of moonlit mountains—balanced, elegant, and contemplative, ideal for moments of quiet reflection or graceful tea gatherings.

Taste & Character

Sangetsu no Shiro reveals a gentle umami with a soft sweetness and light vegetal clarity. Notes of tender spring greens unfold into a subtle nutty warmth, finishing with a refreshing brightness. Its approachable balance makes it especially well-suited for usucha (thin tea).

Aroma

Fresh and uplifting, the aroma evokes cool mountain air touched by dew—green, crisp, and subtly floral. Once whisked, it develops into a calming fragrance that lingers softly.

Texture & Finish

Stone-milled to ceremonial fineness, Sangetsu no Shiro whisks into a smooth, pale-green froth. On the palate, it is light and silky, leaving a clean, velvety finish that refreshes without heaviness.
