Hikari Ceremonial Matcha - 100gr

Hikari Ceremonial Matcha

Kyoto, Japan - 京都府

Rich. Sweet. Floral.

an aromatic, ceremonial matcha — intense umami, full-bodied, unforgettable.

Product details

In japanese, hikari (光) means light — the kind of clean morning light that wakes the whole world up. It's the feeling we wanted in a bowl: bright, quiet, alive.

Hand-picked from the first spring harvest (一番茶 ichibancha) and stone-milled in small batches, hikari is a superior-grade ceremonial matcha built for the purist. an aromatic, perfectly balanced cup — its intense umami gives it an unforgettable full-bodied and creamy flavor. whisk it as usucha for an everyday bowl, or as koicha for a thick, contemplative ritual. either way: no sugar needed, no milk needed.

KYOTO, JAPAN

京都府

Kyoto is the spiritual home of japanese matcha. for over 800 years, the hills around uji and the broader kyoto prefecture have refined the craft of shaded tea cultivation, stone milling, and ceremonial preparation. cool mornings, mist that lingers in the valleys, and mineral-rich soil produce leaves with deep umami, gentle sweetness, and the vivid green that ceremonial matcha is known for. every bowl of hikari carries that lineage.
