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.

Great feel and quality, will buy again
Size: 5.5 INCH
These are gorgeous! The thick, heavy look and feel that I was hoping for, great screws to match (we used different anchors, since the provided anchors are not the strongest style). Similar ones at the local big-name hardware store are at least three times the price and are no better quality. I would (and will) definitely buy these again for more projects. Originally bought the six of these even though I only needed two because the price was still the best I could find, and ended up using all six almost immediately. They look so good, I found more projects for them!

Nice looking. A bit too much flexibility. Did the job.
Size: 11.25 INCH, Size: 11.25 INCH
We made use of these shelving brackets in our kitchen remodel. They turned out great. We used 2x12 Douglas Fur boards that were sanded and painted to show contrast with the brackets. The brackets installed easy enough with a level, tape measure, pencil, and a drill for pilot holes. Other reviewers are correct: the mounting screws that come with it are essentially junk. I had read this and ordered black wood screws ahead of time with the hopes of returning them. I used the 1" screws to secure the shelving to the brackets. The 2-1/2" screws get to go back as we were able to use the included screws to secure the brackets to the wall. But, two of the first three heads on the 1" screws popped off... so, we quickly moved away from those included. There is a little more flex in the brackets than I had expected... they're just a little too thin for 11-1/2" shelves. It won't affect anything for us as we'll just be placing dry food and canned goods on them in our pantry. But, if I were using them for the garage or the shop I'd probably buy a different brand OR decrease the space between brackets. I spaced mine out 12" from each edge and then 12" on center. Works well for our pantry.

Real good quality. Better price then Menards. Missing screws.
Size: 5.5 INCH
Real good quality, very sturdy, and it came with screws and drywall anchors. I would recommend. Only thing is it came with twice the drywall anchors that I needed and missing 2 screws. Not a big deal for me, but someone without screws laying around would have to buy a whole box for 2 screws. Other then that, it’s a good product and would buy again.

Amazing quality brackets
Size: 7.25 INCH, Size: 7.25 INCH
When I received my order I was very impressed with how the brackets were packaged. Once opened up, the steel brackets are amazing quality, and comes with all the screws needed. The only downsize is the screws are lower quality so by the time I got them in they were stripping where the screw driver sits. Same with the drywall attachments. I only used two dry wall attachments per shelf because I didn’t want to ruin my walls with giant holes. It seems to hold adequate weight. I put the regular screws in the bottom holes and through the wood to secure shelf from sliding. Overall I am very pleased. I will be ordering again when I do my bathroom shelves.
