Hekisuien Matcha - Kumoi no Mukashi 30g Ceremonial Grade Japanese Matcha Powder

Hekisuien Matcha – Kumoi no Mukashi (雲井の昔)

Ceremonial‑Grade Japanese Matcha Powder – 30 g Tin

Kumoi no Mukashi, translated as “Capital of the Past,” is a revered ceremonial matcha produced by Hekisuien, a legacy Uji tea house established in 1867. Favoured by Sokuchusai, the 13th-generation grand tea master of Omotesenke, this matcha carries refined prestige and ceremonial tradition.

Flavour Profile

While specific tasting notes are not publicly documented, its esteemed status signals a matcha of rich umami, gentle sweetness, and harmonious balance - ideal for classic koicha (thick tea) rituals and elegant usucha (thin tea) experiences.

Aroma & Texture

Expect a vibrant emerald-green powder that delivers a silky mouthfeel and dense, stable froth, hallmark indicators of premium ceremonial matcha.

Why It Stands Out

• Endorsed by a renowned tea master, a strong testament to its traditional quality and sophistication.
• The evocative name reflects connection to imperial heritage, emphasising its ceremonial depth and reverence in tea culture.
• Crafted by Hekisuien, whose 150+ years of expertise in cultivating and stone-milling matcha ensure unmatched quality.

Perfect For

• Koicha ceremonies - delivers contemplative intensity
• Usucha rituals - offers refined, daily indulgence
• Elevated lattes or modern matcha beverages, preserving ceremonial flavour in contemporary forms
