Hekisuien Matcha – Tenko (天鼓)

Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder – 30 g Can

Tenko, literally meaning “Heaven’s Drum,” is a ceremonial-grade matcha from Hekisuien, a respected Uji tea producer with roots extending back to the late Edo period (1867). Revered for its profound depth and umami, Tenko is specially crafted for koicha (thick tea), offering a rich, full-bodied matcha experience.

Flavour Profile

• Intense umami and earthy richness, delivering a satisfying depth in every sip 
• A well-rounded, creamy taste that lingers with a smooth finish.

Aroma & Texture

• Vibrant emerald powder that whisks into a silky, dense froth - especially impactful in ceremonial thick tea.
• The deep flavour profile harmonises beautifully with traditional usucha (thin tea) and modern matcha beverages.

Why It’s Special

• Koicha enthusiasts favourite—retains bold character even when whisked thick 
• Driven by Hekisuien’s legacy of matcha craftsmanship - aged tencha, stone-milled at a modest 40 g/hour, ensuring fresh, high-quality results
