Matcha Honoka

Matcha Honoka by Fukujuen – A Gentle Invitation to Stillness and Flavor

Discover a new ritual of calm with Matcha Honoka by Fukujuen—now available at Ujicha Matcha. Crafted by one of Japan’s most esteemed tea houses, this first-harvest matcha is grown in the famed tea fields of Uji, Kyoto, where rich soil and centuries-old cultivation methods yield leaves of exceptional quality. The name Honoka (ほのか) means "faint" or "delicate," a nod to its beautifully subtle flavor profile and soft, inviting character.

Sifted into your favorite chawan, Matcha Honoka opens with a rounded sweetness and gentle umami, balanced by a whisper of vegetal bitterness that lingers gracefully. Its aroma is clean and grassy with faint floral notes—perfect for grounding your morning or softening your afternoon. Whether you whisk it into a frothy usucha or enjoy it as a vibrant latte, Honoka brings an elegant ease to any matcha moment.

What makes Honoka truly special is its approachability. It’s refined yet comforting—ideal for those seeking to elevate their wellness ritual without overwhelming the palate. As you sip, you’ll feel connected not only to the serene traditions of Uji, but to your own mindful rhythm.
