Positioned between Kirin and Unkaku in the Marukyu grading system, this refined seasonal blend delivers sweet, creamy, and delicately floral character with smooth light body and lush milky aftertaste. Haru Kasumi begins with a flush of sweetness before gentle astringency sets in, followed by smooth creamy finish—creating a thought-provoking flavor profile with unmistakable umami translating as savory nori, fresh young grass, oceanic kelp, and hints of sakura blossoms. One of the most popular spring matchas from Marukyu Koyamaen, trusted tea maker to the Japanese Royal Family, this elegant blend captures the tranquil and vivacious essence of spring awakening in Kyoto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Haru Kasumi Spring Limited:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExclusive Seasonal Treasure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available only March-April during cherry blossom season—celebrates spring's fleeting beauty with ephemeral character that disappears when season ends, making this highly anticipated annual release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry blossom season celebrations, spring gift-giving, traditional usucha ceremony, koicha thick tea, seasonal matcha collectors, ohanami picnics with bento boxes, welcoming spring's arrival, and anyone seeking elegant limited-edition matcha capturing the ephemeral beauty and tranquil essence of Kyoto spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpring Mist Elegance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Named after gentle mountain mist, delivers soft graceful character with subtle aroma reminiscent of fresh young grass showered with first April rains, creating serene poetic experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDelicate Floral Sweetness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, creamy with light floral notes, hints of sakura blossoms, gentle umami that blossoms beautifully—youthful spring-like flavor with uplifting refined character and bittersweet elegance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplex Umami Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thought-provoking flavor with savory nori, oceanic kelp, cooked edamame, mild grass notes—powerful wave of umami throughout each sip with pleasant vegetal aftertaste reminiscent of fresh tomatoes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVelvety Smooth Texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Remarkably smooth mouthfeel, lush milky aftertaste, round-bodied character—tolerates varying water temperatures exceptionally well, remains balanced without bitterness even at lower temps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Preparation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beautiful as traditional usucha highlighting delicate character, produces flavorful koicha with gentle richness when prepared with less water—adapts gracefully to both thin and thick tea preparations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoyal Family Quality:\u003c\/strong\u003e From Marukyu Koyamaen, producer of matcha for Japanese Royal Family—over 335 years as one of Japan's most admired tea makers, trusted by tea ceremony practitioners worldwide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Marukyu Koyamaen","offers":[{"title":"20g Can","offer_id":51871476154650,"sku":"MK-HAR-20-CAN","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40g Can","offer_id":51871476187418,"sku":"MK-HAR-40-CAN","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/4388\/1242\/files\/MK_Haru_Kasumi_40g_CanBox_7aead3ec-1a6d-4bac-b156-c2cd538c8957.jpg?v=1774575346","url":"https:\/\/kanso-tea.com\/products\/haru-kasumi-by-marukyu-koyamaen-spring-limited-edition","provider":"Kanso Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
