Hekisuien Chiyo no Sakae

Hekisuien Chiyo no Sakae is a refined ceremonial-grade matcha hailing from the historic tea house Hekisuien, established in 1867 in Joyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. Crafted from a harmonious blend of six esteemed cultivars—Yabukita, Samihidori, Ujihikari, Ujimidori, Saemidori, and Sayamakaori—this matcha embodies the rich heritage and meticulous craftsmanship of Uji tea production. Chiyo no Sakae offers a sophisticated tasting experience characterized by a medium umami level and slight astringency.Its thin mouthfeel and clean finish make it an elegant choice for those seeking a nuanced matcha. The flavor profile unfolds with vegetal notes reminiscent of fresh-cut grass, complemented by nutty undertones of hazelnuts and subtle hints of cacao nibs and vanilla. Mineral nuances akin to chalk and a gentle smoky essence add depth, while a slight marine salinity evokes the freshness of an ocean breeze.
