Tsuji Riichi Honten - Ceremonial Matcha Rich & Balanced (First Harvest & Freshly Ground)

Matcha Direct is operated by Tsuji Riichi Honten, a historic Kyoto based tea company founded in 1860 in Japan’s most renowned region for matcha production. Building on this rich heritage, they have become one of Japan’s most respected and well known matcha brands.

This matcha offers a deep umami profile with a bold, intense flavor. Its light bitterness creates a well balanced taste, followed by a smooth and pleasant aftertaste.

This matcha is first harvest and specially requested and made to order for us. The quality of matcha depends not only on the ingredients but also on its freshness. Once ground, matcha gradually changes in character, so the fresher it is, the cleaner and more refined the flavor, making it far more enjoyable to drink.

An excellent choice for matcha lattes, highly recommended.
