Hekisuien Matsu no Midori

Hekisuien Matsu no Midori is a premium ceremonial-grade matcha from the historic Hekisuien tea house, established in 1867 in Joyo, Kyoto Prefecture. Renowned for its dedication to traditional Uji tea cultivation, Hekisuien meticulously shades and ages its tencha leaves before stone-grinding them into matcha, resulting in a tea celebrated for its balanced flavor and refined character. Matsu no Midori offers a harmonious blend of flavors, characterized by a medium umami level and a slight astringency that adds depth without overpowering the palate. Its flavor profile includes vegetal notes reminiscent of cooked peas and artichokes, complemented by the creamy richness of ripe avocados and the earthy nuttiness of raw hazelnuts. Delicate floral hints of roses and vanilla intertwine with a subtle marine essence of nori seaweed, culminating in a smooth, medium-long finish.
