Hekisuien Matcha - Tenko 30g Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Hekisuien Matcha – Tenko (天鼓)
Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder – 30 g Can
Tenko, literally meaning “Heaven’s Drum,” is a ceremonial-grade matcha from Hekisuien, a respected Uji tea producer with roots extending back to the late Edo period (1867). Revered for its profound depth and umami, Tenko is specially crafted for koicha (thick tea), offering a rich, full-bodied matcha experience.
