Hekisuien Hatsu 30g - Japanese Ceremonial Matcha

Experience the refined taste of tradition with Hekisuien Hatsumukashi matcha. This refreshingly bright usucha offers a pleasant tart flavour, making it an ideal entry-level ceremonial matcha. Unlike fuller-bodied matchas with pronounced sweetness, Hatsumukashi delivers a milder tea, perfect for those seeking a subtle, balanced profile. It benefits from lower temperature water but should not be brewed below 75°C to avoid bitterness.

Whether enjoyed as usucha (thin tea) or koicha (thick tea), Hatsumukashi is a delightful introduction to the world of premium matcha.

Hekisuien, founded in 1867, is a historic Japanese tea company specialising in high-quality matcha. Based in the Uji region, it is known for producing ceremonial-grade matcha with a smooth, balanced flavour, crafted through careful shading and aging of tea leaves.
