Overview
Shio is a high-ceremonial grade matcha powder sourced directly from Uji, Kyoto — the most renowned region for authentic Japanese matcha. Considered one of the finest matcha grades available today, Shio represents the gold standard of taste and quality, recognised at international exhibitions. Shio is known for its exceptional natural sweetness, ultra-smooth texture, and almost no astringency. The flavour is deep, refined, and perfectly balanced, with a soft, creamy body and a long, elegant finish. It is ideal for both traditional matcha (usucha & koicha) and a premium matcha latte experience.
