Hekisuien - Daigyoku '大極' 30g
We recommend this tea to all visitors who are seeking a Matcha with a pleasant aroma on those regular weekdays, or for those who are just starting to get immersed in the ritualistically traditional world of Matcha. This is a powdered tea variety that is well suited to tolerate varied methods of preparation, saving one the worry over failing to achieve the desired end result. The flavor of the tea is also excellent at warmer and lower temperatures alike, or enjoyed with less or more quantities of water. Its scent is reminiscent of vanilla notes and a field of flowers, while its flavors include creamy sweetness, with fresh and tart notes.
The meaning of Daigyoku "大極" :
極める (Kiwameru) means to master, to carry to extremes, to bring to an end.
大(Dai) has multiple meanings related to being "big" or "great", so when coupled with "極" from "kiwameru" it conveys a sense of being, achieving, or mastering the highest or greatest state.
