About Myouju Matcha by Hokoen
The name Myouju (明寿) translates to “Bright Longevity,” representing clarity of mind and enduring vitality — two traits perfectly mirrored in its flavour. Handcrafted by the expert tea masters at Hokoen, this matcha is made from shade-grown, first-flush tencha cultivated in the mist-kissed fields of Uji, Kyoto.
After careful harvesting, the leaves are steamed, de-veined, and gently stone-milled into an ultra-fine powder. The resulting tea is rich in chlorophyll and amino acids, creating a vibrant green matcha that tastes as beautiful as it looks.
