From Horii Shichimeien

This is a recommended matcha that represents our garden.

It is a single origin of the new variety “Narino” born from the “Okunoyama” tea garden that has continued since the Muromachi period.

This variety is characterized by its strong sweetness, and it has been proven that the content of theanine, which is the source of umami, is nearly double that of other matcha varieties. It has such a strong “umami” that it is said that you can drink it deliciously without any sweets, and it has a rich aroma and rich taste that cannot be experienced with other varieties.Please enjoy matcha that can only be tasted at our garden.

Holyyyy mother of pearl this is phenomenal! Absolute perfection. Nothing at all is wrong with this matcha. Just WOW.

I have never had a sweeter matcha than this. Only very occasional hints of bitterness that complement rather than detract from the tea. Incredibly smooth and creamy. So much umami. I love love love this omg.

This one comes from Horii Shichimeien. The first half of the company name is the family name. The second-generation owner of the company was named Fusakichi Horii. He submitted a tea in 1879 to the “1st Tea Manufacturing Competitive Exhibition” in Yokohama. The last half of the company refers the seven famous gardens called Uji Shichimeien designated by Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu (1358-1408) in the Muromachi Period. This is the same man who made the famous temple Kinkakuji. Today, the store’s garden named “Okunoyama” is located on a small hill near Uji Byōdōin Temple as the only existing garden of the seven.
