About Hekisuien
Founded over 150 years ago, Hekisuien has been dedicated to the production and sale of Uji tea since its establishment in 1867, during the final years of the Edo period. The company was founded by the first-generation Horii Kihei in Joyo, a region known for its rich tea-growing heritage. Hekisuien’s matcha is renowned for its sweetness, full-bodied flavor, and umami, achieved through a meticulous aging process. The tencha (tea leaves for matcha) is carefully shaded and nurtured, then aged under controlled conditions to develop a rounded, smooth taste before being ground into matcha. As one of the earliest tea wholesalers to specialize in matcha for tea ceremonies, Hekisuien continues to uphold the highest standards of quality, crafting matcha that reflects the rich traditions of Uji tea.
