Horii Shichimeien Homare no Mukashi – Prestige Ceremonial Koicha Matcha from Uji, Kyoto

Immerse yourself in the legacy of Horii Shichimeien, one of Kyoto’s oldest tea houses, with Homare no Mukashi, a luxurious ceremonial-grade koicha matcha crafted in Uji, Japan. This blend reflects over eight centuries of heritage, sourced from the fertile, mist-kissed hills of Uji — the birthplace of Japanese matcha.

Each tin of Homare no Mukashi is stone-ground in small batches from hand-selected, shade-grown tencha leaves. The result is a powder of radiant jade-green hue and unparalleled aroma — the mark of Horii Shichimeien’s meticulous craftsmanship.

Tasting Profile

  • Aroma: Deep, elegant fragrance with roasted umami and sweet floral undertones

  • Flavor: Full-bodied yet refined, offering a layered taste of rich umami, balanced by soft vegetal sweetness

  • Umami Level: High – dense, savory depth that coats the tongue smoothly

  • Sweetness: Medium – natural, clean sweetness that harmonizes the richness

  • Bitterness: Low – refined and fleeting, enhancing the tea’s complexity

  • Texture: Velvety and thick when prepared as koicha, with a long-lasting finish

  • Finish: Lingering umami and floral aroma with a serene aftertaste

Packaged immediately after grinding to preserve freshness, color, and aroma, Homare no Mukashi embodies Kyoto’s ideal of balance between strength and grace. Its sophisticated profile makes it suitable for both tea ceremony and moments of quiet reflection.
