[New Arrival] Japanese Green Tea Shikunshi “Mujo” Blend – 80g

Premium Gyokuro, Kabusecha & Tencha Green Tea from Kyoto

The highest expression of refinement.

“Mujo” means “unsurpassed,” “most noble,” or “without equal.”

During Japan’s Momoyama period (16th century), the tea master Sen no Rikyu elevated tea from a simple beverage into a refined cultural practice — a path of spiritual cultivation and aesthetic harmony.

Inspired by this spirit, the name Mujo expresses our wish to offer a cup of tea that brings both the finest flavor and a moment of inner calm, allowing one to reflect on the traditions of centuries past.

A Unique Blend of Three Premium Teas

The Shikunshi series introduces four creative teas that explore the rich mellowness ("maromi") of Japanese green tea.

Mujo Blend combines three carefully selected shaded teas:

• Gyokuro – prized for its deep umami and sweetness
• Kabusecha – known for its smooth body and balanced flavor
• Tencha – the leaves used to produce Matcha, valued for its elegant fragrance

When blended together, these teas create a luxurious harmony of umami and aroma.

The result is a rich flavor profile highlighted by the distinctive “ooika” fragrance, characteristic of high-quality shaded teas.

Each tea contributes its unique character, creating a refined and distinctive taste experience.

A Tea Inspired by the “Shikunshi”

The name Shikunshi (四君子) refers to the “Four Gentlemen” of East Asian art — plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
These plants symbolize elegance, resilience, and quiet strength.

The Shikunshi tea series reflects these values, inviting you to enjoy a moment of calm reflection through tea.

What is Tencha?

This tea is blended with Tencha, a rare Japanese green tea known for its delicate fragrance and rich umami.

Tencha is specially cultivated to produce Matcha. Before harvest, the tea plants are shaded from sunlight for about 20 days, which enhances their sweetness and deep umami flavor.

After harvesting, the leaves are steamed and carefully dried without the rolling prpcess typical of other green teas. The stems and veins are then removed, leaving only the parts of the soft leaf called Tencha.

These leaves are traditionally stone-ground into fine powder to make Matcha, but when brewed as leaf tea, Tencha offers a uniquely fragrant and elegant flavor experience.
