Matcha made in Honyama has a unique fresh umami and a smooth texture with an elegant aftertaste compared with the bold umami and thick texture of other Matchas. Honyama is also well known for its production of great Sencha.
Honyama Matcha is known as the matcha loved by Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa, 400 years ago. He ordered his followers to store Tencha in his special tea storage barn in the cool Ikawa area (3665 ft above sea level) to make it mellow. He would then have it milled into Matcha in the autumn. You can almost feel the history associated with this Honyama Matcha.
