- Description
- Tsujirihei Honten · Est. 1860 · Dual Competition Grade · Asahi & Samidori · Maison Koko Exclusive · First Release Outside Japan Description Tenkei. In Japanese, tenkei means divine revelation, an insight so clear, so complete, that it could only come from somewhere beyond the ordinary. It is a name chosen with intention: this is not merely a premium matcha. It is the pinnacle of what Tsujirihei Honten produces. What makes Tenkei categorically different from every other matcha in the Tsujirihei Honten collection is this: both Asahi and Samidori are competition grade . Not one cultivar elevated to competition standard, both. This is the only blend in the range where two of the three cultivars have been selected, cultivated, and processed to the exacting standard used in Japan's most prestigious tea competitions . The result is a matcha that carries the full weight of that distinction in every cup. It opens with a soft, ethereal aroma, delicate, almost otherworldly, entirely composed. On the palate it is luxuriously smooth, delivering layers of deep umami that build slowly and settle into a lasting, refined richness. This is a matcha of absolute stillness, the kind of cup that demands nothing of you except your full attention.
