Horii Shichimeien Premium Narino Ceremonial Grade Matcha

This exclusive matcha is produced using the Narino cultivar, a recent variety cultivated in the renowned Okunoyama tea garden, which traces its roots back to the Muromachi period. It has been meticulously crafted for participation in national tea competitions, with the utmost attention to detail at every step of the manufacturing process. The tea leaves are hand-selected using the careful "shigoki-tsumi" method, choosing only the highest quality leaves. Every stage of production is carefully monitored to ensure only the most flawless leaves are utilized, with the final selection done by hand using chopsticks. These carefully chosen tencha leaves are then ground with a stone, resulting in a matcha that surpasses the standard Narino in smoothness and refinement. It boasts a bold umami flavor, a creamy texture, and no bitterness, providing a luxurious and deeply gratifying matcha experience. Net weight: 20g
