SEI-FU (清風, meaning "clear breeze") is a premium ceremonial grade matcha from Gokashō in Uji, Japan. This stone-ground matcha blends four cultivars — Asahi, Gokou, Okumidori, and Yabukita — each contributing to a rich, layered flavour profile.

SEIFU has noticeably more depth than our entry-level HIJIRI-NO-SATO. The Asahi cultivar brings deep umami and a creamy mouthfeel, Gokou adds floral and fruity notes, Okumidori provides bright green colour and mild sweetness, and Yabukita balances everything with a light, clean finish. This is the matcha to use when you want the full koicha (thick tea) experience.

How does it taste

Rich, smooth, and distinctively savoury with fresh, tender harvest notes. Compared to HIJIRI-NO-SATO, SEIFU has noticeably more depth and a lingering sweetness. Asahi provides deep umami and creamy mouthfeel, Gokou adds floral and fruity notes, Okumidori brings bright colour and mild sweetness, while Yabukita balances with refreshing umami and light astringency.

Which matcha should I choose?

HIJIRI-NO-SATO — everyday matcha for lattes, cold brew, and casual drinking. Milder and more forgiving.
SEIFU — for koicha, serious tea ceremony, and when you want to taste the difference quality makes. Richer and more complex.

Preparation methods

Koicha (thick tea) — where SEIFU really shines:

  1. Warm your matcha bowl with hot water, then empty and dry
  2. Sift 4g of matcha into the bowl
  3. Add 40ml of 70-80°C water
  4. Knead slowly with a bamboo whisk until the mixture becomes a smooth, thick paste (no whisking — gentle kneading)
  5. Drink in small sips. Koicha should be concentrated and rich, not frothy

Usucha (thin tea):

  1. Warm the bowl, then empty and dry
  2. Sift 2g of matcha into the bowl
  3. Add 20ml of 80°C water and knead into a paste
  4. Add 50ml more water and whisk in a "W" motion until frothy
  5. Drink straight away

Cold brew and latte: Same method as HIJIRI-NO-SATO, though at this grade, we'd recommend enjoying it as usucha or koicha to appreciate the full flavour.

Joanne's notes

SEIFU is the matcha I use for our Tea Bar koicha service. The difference between this and HIJIRI-NO-SATO is most obvious in thick tea preparation — the creaminess and depth come through clearly. If you've been drinking matcha lattes and want to understand what the ceremony fuss is about, this is the one to try straight.

Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar in Hobart — we can prepare and serve in a Chawan for you so you can taste the difference before buying.

Makes a thoughtful gift for tea lovers. Pairs well with our matcha tools collection.

Storage

Keep in the fridge, away from strong odours. Place the tin in a sealed bag for extra protection. Once opened, use within 4-6 weeks for the best colour and flavour.


About ceremonial grade matcha

Ceremonial grade matcha is made from the youngest, most tender tea leaves, shade-grown and stone-ground into a fine powder. SEIFU comes from Gokashō, a specific area within Uji known for producing some of Japan's best matcha. See our full Japanese green tea and matcha collection.

100-count large oval paper plates (12"x10") - soak-proof, microwave safe, cut-resistant, disposable
Size: 12 in-100 count, Size: 12 in-100 count
These 12" X 10" disposable paper plates (brand: OuMuaMua) are great to add to our inventory of party tableware supplies.  We have stocked up smaller plates but just not these larger ones.  The size is perfect to make up for what we have not purchased but need. They are fantastic for being soak-proof and microwave-safe. I used one today to marinate some pork chops for 2+ hours just to see how well it performed for soak-proofness.  The saucy marinade was well contained and didn't soak through the plate.  The coating is waterproof as well because after marinating, I used the same plate to hold some tap water.  Not a drip came or seeped through. Though I would consider it quite stiff, it is still made of paper and won't compare well with those disposable hard plastic plates.  As such, I will limit my use of these for lightweight items such as donuts, break, muffins, cupcakes, a few pork chops or steaks, etc.  For heavier and bountiful party goodies, like a big bunch of BBQ wings, hot dogs, etc., I will back it up with a tray when carrying it to the table.  Once properly seated down, this oval paper plate can be trusted to serve on its own. A size comparison is included showing the oval plate and a smaller one from a known brand I bought for everyday use.  They are similar not just in their color schemes , the quality is also very similar, e.g. the level of stiffness, being soak-proof and cut-resistant.  I am very pleased with this product's quality and functionality.  They are absolutely convenient when we host parties or when we prefer not to deal with dishes clean-up. These are definitely valuable time-savers for the price.

Summertime is paper plate season
Size: 12 in-100 count
Summertime in our house means paper plate season! These paper plates are great for everything from meals, to make shift cutting boards to serving trays. They are super durable making it easy to carry multiple around. The value for the price cant be beat, especially since its delivered right to our door.

Poor quality and unusable finish
Size: 12 in-100 count
Very poor plates, fiber coming off the edges. You have to wipe them before you use each one. Never seen that with paper plates ever!!
