Horii Shichimeien - Matcha Homare no Mukashi

Horii Shichimeien, founded in 1879 in Uji, Kyoto, is one of Japan’s most prestigious tea producers, famous for cultivating the last of Uji’s original seven tea gardens, Oku no Yama, tended for over 600 years. Today, under sixth-generation owner Chotaro Horii, it remains a guardian of Uji’s tea heritage, blending history, innovation, and craftsmanship.

Homare no Mukashi used hand picked, high quality tea leaves that have won awards at tea tasting competitions, and blend them in a well balanced way to create a well balanced flavour. This is a flavorful matcha that is mellow, fragrant, and full of umami.
