Who is Rishi Tea?

Rishi Tea is a specialty tea company, founded in 1995, offering direct trade, organic matcha from Kagoshima, Japan. Its Organic Barista Matcha is a culinary-grade powder stone-milled from shade-grown tencha, harvested once a year between May and June.

Direct trade partnerships with organic farmers and master artisans ensure meticulous sourcing, with tencha shaded for three to four weeks under oishita saibai to boost L-theanine and color. The certified organic powder yields umami sweetness and vivid green hue for beverages.

Umami-rich Uji matcha powder for focused, meditative moments

Rishi Tea & Botanicals Matcha Hekisui is a Garden Direct green tea powder imported from Uji. Its defining characteristics are a blue-green color, abundant umami, and floral gyokuro notes.

How does Matcha Hekisui taste?

Matcha Hekisui has lots of umami accompanied by floral gyokuro notes. The gyokuro reference describes part of the flavor profile. It should not be read as a separate ingredient or a claim about the matcha’s production. The available tasting details focus on these two characteristics without naming sweetness, bitterness, astringency, or other flavor notes.

This concise profile gives buyers two clear points of comparison: pronounced umami and a floral note associated with gyokuro. No preparation method, water temperature, or serving ratio is specified for this product.
