50g / tin We are proud to introduce Shinrei (森霊), a deeply expressive matcha from Uji, Kyoto (宇治, 京都)—the historic heart of Japanese matcha cultivation. Shinrei offers a rich, creamy, and exceptionally smooth texture, with a fuller umami body than typical ceremonial matcha. Its flavor unfolds with a vibrant green character, reminiscent of walking through a quiet, living forest after the rain—fresh, grounding, and serene. The name Shinrei (森霊), meaning “spirit of the forest,” reflects the essence of this tea. Rather than presenting the usual light sweetness, Shinrei expresses a deeper green profile, layered with lush umami and a calm forest-like aroma that lingers gently on the palate. Balanced yet powerful, Shinrei is perfect for both usucha and koicha preparations, allowing its creamy body and forest-green character to fully reveal themselves in every bowl.
