The aroma of this blend is journey that starts with the caramel sweetness of malted milk along with the refreshing brightness of green bamboo with hints of woody pine and finally the salinity of seaweed. With a full bodied and complex flavour profile, this is one of the silkiest matchas in mouth feel. The initial flavour is an intense rush of earthiness and savoury umami like wild mushrooms in cream. As it travels through the mouth, the vegetal notes are rich and deep akin to warm slow cooked vegetable broth and finally the floral fragrance and bright essence of pine shines at the very end.

The name was bestowed upon the Kanbayashi family by Tokugawa Ieyasu as he was fond of the 'Babacha' or Grandmother's tea made by the mother of the first generation Kanbayashi. In recognition for her skills, she was gifted a tea garden in Wakamori and the tea produced there was named Babamukashi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThIs koicha is the third highest blend in the Kabayashi Shunsho offering with the fresh powder reminds us of a sweet dessert with vanilla, malted milk and the fruity floral notes of strawberries. The powder is a bright and vibrant green and when blended as a koicha is a deep rich emerald green tone with the savoury salinity of fleur de sel. Babamukashi is rich and intense with full body and depth. It starts with the gentle tartness, fruity and floral flavours of young strawberries followed by the short spurt of bitterness from dark leafy greens (kale\/cavolo nero). As it rolls through, the mouthfeel is buttery and velvety and the intense vegetal notes take over. This lingers for quite awhile at the front of the mouth before the vanilla custard creaminess takes over for a soft, naturally sweet and clean ending. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished for fifteen generations since the Eiroku era (around 1560), the Kanbayashi Shunsho story began when its first generation, Kamon no Jo Hisashige, moved to Uji from the Kanbayashi Township in Tanba and became heavily involved in the tea industry, playing an important role in production and distribution as the leading tea master in the Uji tea industry.  During the Edo period (1603-1867), he was bestowed the title “Gomotsu Ochashi,” or the highest rank of tea master, and principally performed the role of tea provider to the shogunate and various feudal lords. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut, with the changing of periods came a wind of change.
