Matcha "Honai" – Premium Matcha in a 1 kg format

1 kg – Bulk pack for professional use & discerning tea connoisseurs

"Honai" combines the best of the first harvest from Shiga, one of Japan's most traditional tea regions. Exceptionally fine, young tea leaves create a Matcha with unmistakable depth: velvety-smooth aroma, subtle sweetness, and a hint of chocolate. Its deep green, clear color highlights its extraordinary quality.

The 1 kg bulk pack makes this premium Matcha ideal for catering, tea houses, retailers, or frequent drinkers who value consistent high quality and economical quantities.

When whisked, "Honai" develops a dense, creamy foam – a sign of careful processing and absolute freshness.

Koicha – highest Matcha quality

This Matcha is suitable for Koicha, the particularly concentrated preparation method of the Japanese tea ceremony using very little water. Traditionally, only Matcha of particularly high quality is used for this.

"Ceremonial Grade" is not an official Japanese quality standard. We explain why we distinguish between Usucha and Koicha instead in our blog post:
