Horii Shichimeien holds a unique and sacred place in Japanese tea history as the sole guardian of "Okunoyama"—the last surviving garden of the famous Seven Gardens of Uji designated by the Ashikaga Shogunate centuries ago. For generations, the Horii family has tended this historic land, producing matcha of unparalleled pedigree and character. Their dedication to preserving this living legacy is evident in every tin, offering a taste of the original Uji terroir that shaped the tea ceremony itself. Renowned for a deep, resonant umami and noble aroma, their matcha allows connoisseurs to experience a direct link to the golden age of tea culture.
