Matcha Powder Narino from Horii Shichimeien 20g

Matcha Narino

This is one of our highly recommended matcha offerings.

Matcha Narino is a single-origin tea from the Okunoyama tea garden, a historic estate dating back to the Muromachi period. This cultivar is known for its pronounced sweetness, with nearly double the theanine content compared to other matcha varieties, contributing to its rich umami flavour. So much so, that it is said to be delicious even without accompanying sweets. The full-bodied aroma and deep, intense taste are unique to this variety, making it a matcha experience unlike any other. Enjoy this exclusive tea cultivated only in our garden.
