Matcha Ennen no Mukashi - Hoshino Seichaen

Official Matcha of the Urasenke Tea School

Hoshitea received its Urasenke christening in 1993, when it named a selected tea from Japan's largest tea school. As a producer of some of the best Matcha in all of Japan, Hoshitea is currently official supplier to the Urasenke and Omotosenke Tea Schools. This means that, under certain conditions, it is possible to brew and label approved and recommended teas directly from the tea schools, which are then consumed by former or prospective students of these Schools, their friends and family members in formal, informal and other settings. It is therefore an extremely important recognition, intended only for the very few and exclusive productions that meet the Schools' stringent requirements.

The teas recommended by Urasenke have a special character that usually stands out sharply from all other Matcha. A fantastic Koicha all to be discovered.

Recommended and made under the advice of Master Iemoto Zabosai, 16th Grandmaster Urasenke.
