Matcha "Honai" - Premium Matcha from Tsuchiyama in 1 kg Format

1 kg - Bulk Pack for Professional Applications & Discerning Tea Enthusiasts

"Honai" combines the best of the first harvest from Shiga, one of Japan's most traditional tea regions. Made from particularly fine, young tea leaves, it produces a matcha with unmistakable depth: a velvety-soft aroma, delicate sweetness, and a hint of chocolate. Its deep green, clear color underscores its exceptional quality.

The 1 kg bulk pack makes this premium matcha ideal for restaurants, tea houses, resellers, or frequent drinkers who value consistently high quality and economical quantities.

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

Koicha - the highest matcha quality

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