伊勢 有機 御抹茶 雲心 (濃茶)
Top quality at great value
While there are many shops and brands offering organic matcha, finding one which taste quality meets our high requirements is a challenge. In our product line structure, it has to be good enough for chanoyu and at the same time economic enough for making different daily drinks or other recipes. Tea Hong’s ceremonial grade Organic Matcha Unshin is sourced exactly for this purpose. Produced by the same team that gives our wonderful Ise Matcha Mugetsu, and harvested from an isolated tea field for organic management, we are so confident of its quality that this very same production was the first Japanese tea we wholesale exported to EU, and growing in volume ever since. We also have a special quality from this same producer to provide to premium hotels in EU and UK.
Now with Organic Matcha Unshin easily available online, when you whisk up a bowl of koicha to savour a mindfulness moment, or blend it with milk and cream to make a matcha latte to win the hearts of your friends, you know you are using a quality that you can rely on.

Storage suggestion
Closeup of the folding of the opening of a bag clipped seal using butterfly clips
Always return unused portion into the fridge.
To keep cold storage tea better to maintain its quality, always try to minimise the amount of air inside the bag before making sure that it is airtight. Gently shake the remaining tea powder downwards towards the bottom of the bag and then squeeze the bag from the volume of the powder towards the bag opening. Immediately after the fingers pass the top of the volume, tighten the bag there.
To tighten the bag, use either a simple “butterfly” clip, or a “sealer” clip. If you use the butterfly clip, always make sure that there are at least three folds of the bag before clipping.
To use the cold stored tea again, always make sure the content of a pack returns to room temperature before opening the pack.
Preparation suggestion
Choose a tea bowl which base can fit well into your palm, and one that is thick enough to hold the heat for the during of the whisk.
- Preheat the bowl with near boiling water
- Add 2g of matcha into the bowl through a sieve and about 1.5 tablespoons of room temperature water
- Blend the tea powder well with the water to make a consistent paste
- Add 80ml of water at 85°C
- Whisk using a zigzag movement (rather than circular) to blend the tea well into the water
- Enjoy
- Alternatively, blend this into foamed milk, either hot or cold, for a matcha latte, possibly a lot better than whatever you can get from the best café in town

Huangshan Maofeng Supreme, traditional green tea
Tea, Green teas, Huangshan & Anhui, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, Cool Energy黃山毛峰 明前嫰芽
Pre-Qingming Maofeng:
Huangshan (translate: Yellow Mountain) is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and a China national conservation. Besides beautiful sceneries, it is also the origin for many a fine teas, such as Huangshan Maofeng. The tender young leaf shoot to make Tea Hong's Huangshan Maofeng Supreme is always plucked with one or two tiny immediate leaves before Spring Equinoix, and always before Qing Ming. Always from the few small family tea farms in the high mountains that we buy from. It is a rare quality even in the market in Huangshan, and if you ever found it, would be at a much higher price. Working directly with producers is a principal at Tea Hong. While offering quality at a reasonable price is one immediate benefit that you as a consumer can enjoy, there are more important reasons and not so immediate results that we aim at. Your patronage means great support for our cause.

Masterfully processed to best deliver the taste this name represents.

A very fragrant Jin Guanyin
While some people like their Tieguanyin subtle and long like it used to be traditionally, some others want it to be more floral. So we give you Tieguanyin Floral, a very bouquet version of this popular oolong. The cultivar is Jin Guanyin ( aka Golden Tieguanyin ), a child between the traditional Tieguanyin plant and a relatively newer bleed, Huangjin Gui *. While the latter is widely used as a substitute for the genuine Tieguanyin for its pleasing nose, it lacks the body and length of the real thing. The resultant hybrid, however, has the best of both parents. The terroir is in Xianghua, a mountainous area in the Anxi county in the subtropical southern part of Fujian, where the best Tieguanyin is produced. This tea is also available in a small portion as a part of Tea Taster’s Box: Nine Oolong Samplers.

Huangshan Maofeng Classic, traditional green tea
Tea, Green teas, Huangshan & Anhui, Lighter Aromas, Milder Tastes, Cool Energy黃山毛峰、雨前翠玉
A quintessential traditional pre-rain green tea
Huangshan Maofeng green tea is a must-have souvenir when one visits Huangshan. However, even if you know the way to real teashops rather than tourist traps, a pack of such quality as Tea Hong's Cuiyu would come at a high price. That is why this pleasant tasting and slightly sweet baked green tea is a most popular item not only for our retail, but also export. To maintain consistent high quality, we employ only harvest before the lunar almanac demarkation of “guyu” — the first rain for seeding, around early to mid-April. "Yuqian" — before the rain — is the traditional term for this.
