Kyo Hayashiya - Shoshin Matcha

Kyo Hayashiya Matcha – Shoshin

20g Ceremonial-Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Shoshin (初心), meaning “Beginner’s Mind”, embodies the spirit of openness, freshness, and simplicity at the heart of Japanese tea culture. Crafted by Kyo Hayashiya with the same precision and heritage that has defined the tea house since 1753, Shoshin offers a gentle, inviting introduction to ceremonial matcha—perfect for daily rituals and mindful pauses.

Taste & Character

Shoshin presents a bright, clean flavour profile with subtle layers of natural sweetness and mild umami. Its taste recalls fresh spring greens, with a touch of nuttiness and a refreshing clarity that makes it accessible for both new matcha drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking lightness.

Aroma

Fragrant and uplifting, Shoshin’s aroma evokes young tea leaves carried on a breeze—green, crisp, and subtly floral. Once whisked, it softens into a calm, inviting fragrance with a hint of sweetness.

Texture & Finish

Finely stone-milled, Shoshin whisks into a smooth, creamy froth with a light and silky body. Its finish is gentle and refreshing, leaving the palate cleansed and awakened without heaviness.
