The First Foray Set - Matcha

The First Foray Set is a simple starting point for daily matcha. It pairs Higashiyama-en’s Goryoku, a vibrant, umami-rich matcha from Nishio by heritage producer Aoi Seicha, with a clear 300ml glass tumbler by Italian maker Bormioli Rocco.

Designed to nestle comfortably in your hand, the tumbler's curved shape and smooth rim design, makes sipping natural and satisfying. And the clear glass shows off the matcha's natural vivid green hue beautifully. 

The matcha's sweet, milk chocolate aroma and smooth vegetal notes meet the clarity of the glass, turning every whisk and pour into a moment worth savouring.

A practical set for building a habit, or for anyone ready to move matcha into everyday use.

Higashiyama-en is the tea line developed in-house by Eastern Hill General Supplies.

The name references Kyoto’s Higashiyama ward, a historic centre of Japanese tea culture closely connected to Uji matcha. It reflects an approach shaped by precision, respect for process, and a long view of craft.

This philosophy parallels our own Eastern Hill identity, with both names speaking to a place, a landscape, and a way of working that values restraint, consistency, and quiet confidence.

Teas are sourced from established producers and selected for cultivar, growing conditions, processing, and reliability. The range is curated for daily use, offering matcha that performs with clarity while remaining grounded in tradition.
