Houki by Hokoen

Houki (宝亀) is a radiant ceremonial-grade matcha from Hokoen, a respected Uji tea producer with over 160 years of heritage. Named “Treasure Radiance,” Houki delivers a luminous cup brimming with refined sweetness, gentle umami, and a silky smooth texture. Its bright jade bloom and soft, creamy froth make it an elegant matcha—perfect for everyday usucha or welcoming your first koicha experience.

About this item:

  • Treasure Radiance: Reflects its auspicious name with a shining, elegant profile and lasting flavor.
  • Full‑Bodied Koicha or Versatile Usucha: Best as a thick tea, yet forgiving and delicious at lower temperatures as usucha, avoiding bitterness.
  • Delicate Sweetness & Gentle Umami: Rich, lingering taste with soft vegetal notes and minimal astringency.
  • Long‑Lasting Aroma: Captivating fragrance that remains pleasantly on the palate long after each sip.
  • Authentic Uji Craftsmanship: Shade‑grown, stone‑ground, and packaged in Kyoto by Hokoen, managing every step from plantation to cup.
  • Three Sizes Available: 40 g can, 100 g can, and 200 g can—for sampling, daily use, or sharing rituals.
