Hokoen Matcha - Houki 20g Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder
Hokoen Matcha – Hōki (宝亀) 20 g Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder
“Treasure Radiance” – A Full‑Bodied Koicha with a Gentle Heart
Hōki - meaning “Treasure Radiance” - is a ceremonial-grade matcha from Hokoen, a trusted Uji tea producer with a rich heritage of over 160 years managing the entire production process from farm to tin.
Flavour Profile
Crafted for koicha (thick tea) yet graceful as usucha (thin tea), Hōki is richly full-bodied with a noticeably sweet umami character. Its flavours are deep and lingering, inviting contemplation with every sip.
Aroma & Texture
Expect a vibrant jade hue and a smooth, creamy texture when whisked. Hōki is forgiving of lower water temperatures and resists bitterness, making each bowl both easy and rewarding.
Purpose & Appeal
- Designed primarily for koicha ceremonies, yet adapted gracefully to usucha preparations.
- Its rich, harmonious profile makes it perfect for both traditional tea rituals and elevated daily matcha moments.
