Japanese Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder – KIN-NO-UZU | Hekisuien (Uji, Japan) 150g (5.29 oz)
HEKISUIEN Matcha “KIN-NO-UZU”
Uji Kyoto — Versatile & Balanced
A well-rounded Uji matcha that performs beautifully in both usucha and premium matcha lattes — a true all-rounder.
Ranked just below DAIGYOKU in the HEKISUIEN lineup, KIN-NO-UZU offers refined balance and reliable quality for both traditional tea and café-style drinks.
Choose Your Size
KIN-NO-UZU is available in two sizes. If you’re trying it for the first time, 30g is a great start. If you drink matcha regularly or make lattes often, 150g offers better value per gram and fewer reorders.
Quick guide: 30g = try first / occasional use. 150g = daily matcha / frequent lattes.
Why We Recommend KIN-NO-UZU
KIN-NO-UZU is ideal for customers who want a matcha that feels refined, yet flexible. It has enough structure and aroma for traditional usucha, while staying smooth and expressive in milk-based lattes.
Best for: “I want one matcha that works for both tea and lattes.”
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Light and refreshing, with a subtle roasted nuance
- Taste: Beautifully balanced with clean umami
- Finish: Smooth, tidy, and gently lingering
How to Enjoy
Usucha (Traditional):
Sift 2g, add 60ml hot water (about 80°C / 176°F), whisk until frothy.
Matcha Latte (Premium):
Mix 2g with 60ml hot water, then add 150ml milk. For a cleaner finish, use less sweetener to let the aroma come through.
About Hekisuien
Founded in the third year of the Keio era, HEKISUIEN is an esteemed Uji matcha factory with over 150 years of history. They specialize exclusively in Uji tea manufacturing, preserving traditional methods to produce matcha of the highest quality.
150 Years of Tradition: Aged Uji Matcha
Rather than grinding tencha immediately after spring processing, HEKISUIEN allows it to rest under strict temperature control, creating a smoother, more refined taste and deeper aroma.
Matcha Production at Hekisuien
Each traditional stone mill produces only about 40 grams per hour. This slow pace helps protect the matcha’s color, aroma, and silky texture — the foundation of authentic Uji matcha.
