At Chaseki, we understand the lengths you'll go to for the finest matcha. That's why our Heritage Grade label is reserved only for the best, most luxurious matcha products crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Here are the specific criteria that define our Heritage Grade matcha: Tea leaves must be shaded for at least four weeks or more. The tea plants must be shaded under a canopy, avoiding direct contact with the leaves to prevent damage and allow the plant to grow freely. This method also facilitates hand-picking, with the harvest occurring in the spring. The harvested leaves must be steamed and dried into Tencha leaf flakes using a specialized Tencha roasting facility. After removing the stems and veins, the Tencha is chopped into small pieces for grinding. The grinding process must be done using a stone mill. An often-overlooked step is the role of the master blender. Tea leaves, as a crop, vary from year to year. Achieving a consistent flavor profile requires the expert skills of Shogyokuen’s CEO, Hiroshi Kobayashi. His unparalleled ability to appraise and blend tea leaves ensures the same exquisite taste every year. The Kobayashi family cultivates leaves on a dedicated tea field exclusively for their Heritage Grade Matcha products. Introducing Kakuun, a heavenly matcha with delicate aromas of freshly picked parsley, buttered asparagus, spinach, and cooked peas, all harmoniously combined with the creaminess of avocados. The incredible umami flavor is complemented by notes of hazelnut and macadamia, delivering a silky finish that lingers. Packed with high levels of L-theanine and other amino acids, Kakuun is the perfect beverage for studying, writing, or any intellectual activity. Its thick, juicy mouthfeel and long-lasting finish make it an extraordinary experience. We recommend enjoying Kakuun as Koicha—thick matcha—to appreciate its rich and complex profile fully.
