Hibiki Matcha

Hibiki is a koicha grade matcha produced in the Hoshino Valley, situated in the mountains of Yame. Matcha from this region is known for it's higher amounts of hiire—the final firing process that takes place just before milling. This process gently caramelizes sugars in the leaf, resulting in a matcha with intense aromatics, a remarkable depth of flavor, and a profound lingering umami. This is matcha of the highest order, and one not to be missed for those looking to experience a profile not found anywhere else in Japan.
