Hekisuien Matcha – Iwashimizu 30 g
Ceremonial‑Grade Japanese Matcha Powder
Iwashimizu (石清水, meaning “spring water bubbling through rocks”) is a highly esteemed ceremonial matcha crafted by Hekisuien, one of Uji’s historic tea producers. This precise expression is prized by Jimyosai, the 14th-generation grand tea master of Omotesenke, and is revered for its purity and craftsmanship.
Flavour Profile
Clean, elegant flavour with pronounced umami and a refined vegetal sweetness delicately balanced and calm.
Aroma & Texture
- The name evokes clarity and freshness, mirroring the tea’s crisp, spring‑like aroma and vivid green hue.
- Finely stone‑ground for a smooth, silky mouthfeel that whips into a gentle, stable froth whether prepared as usucha or koicha.
Why This Matcha Stands Out
- Favoured by a high-ranking tea master, embodying tradition and precision in every tin.
- Represents a restrained, thoughtful approach - ideal for purists and tea lovers seeking clarity and subtlety in their daily matcha ritual.
Perfect For
- Usucha rituals - for clear and serene matcha moments
- Koicha ceremonies - when you want balanced intensity without heaviness
- Modern lattes or iced drinks - refreshing, delicate, and vibrant
