Shichimei no Mukashi by Horii Shichimeien

Shichimei no Mukashi

A signature Uji matcha from Horii Shichimeien, crafted from carefully selected first-flush tencha grown across Uji, Joyo, and Kyotanabe in Kyoto.

Blended using Horii Shichimeien’s traditional expertise, Shichimei no Mukashi brings together prized Uji cultivars including Samidori, Yabukita, Ujihikari, and others. The result is a refined and beautifully balanced matcha with deep umami, a mellow character, and an elegant, lingering aroma.

Selected leaves include high-quality, award-winning teas, with tencha traditionally shade-grown for 30–45 days before being processed in Horii Shichimeien’s distinctive tencha furnace and stone-milled into matcha.

Rich enough for koicha yet balanced and aromatic as usucha, Shichimei no Mukashi represents Horii Shichimeien’s signature approach to the art of Uji matcha blending.
