Matcha Seijyou - Hoshino Seichaen
Matcha Seijyou isthe most renowned of Hoshino Seichaen's Matcha and is among the best in Japan and the World.
The production of this tea, partly in order to ensure its high quality,is very limited, making it difficult to find, especially for those of us who operate outside Japan.
Matcha Seijyou - Wise Star
It has a deep green color and a sweet and delicate flavor, all accompanied by a silky and very creamy texture. Among Marukyu-Koyamaen teas, it can be compared to Matcha Choan and Matcha Unkaku. Both are distinguished by their very high quality and value for money, but Matcha Seijyou turns out to be sweeter than Unkaku, which has a stronger and more intense flavor instead.
Matcha Seijyou, which means "wise star", can also be prepared as Usucha and Koicha.
It comes from the pristine Hoshino Village in Yame, Fukuoka, Japan. The company has been committed since the 1950s to ensuring that its plantations, cultivation and labor standards, as well as tea processing facilities, stand out for efficiency and quality. Hoshino Seichaen specializes in producing Matcha, Gyokuro and Sencha tea of the highest quality. Then again, in addition to the skill and craftsmanship of the tea makers, there is also an area incredibly suited for growing green tea to lend a not inconsiderable hand. It is produced in limited quantities with an almost maniacal focus on the quality profile.
