Style
First harvest Direct coating Stone-milled
Use
Water Thick tea (Koicha)
Gokou is one of the rarest matcha cultivars in Japan — grown on a handful of farms in Uji, developed exclusively for tencha, almost never used any other way. The flavor profile is unlike standard matcha. Dark chocolate, sweet cream, oceanic minerality — layered, dense, with a long finish. Not a simple cup.
First harvest, shade-grown, stone-milled. Takayuki Matsuda, Wazuka, Kyoto.

[High grade] matcha
Our high grade matcha comes from [a small network of farmers in Uji] a region known for its long-standing tea tradition. We don’t source broadly — each tea is chosen intentionally for its balance, clarity and character.
The line focuses on single cultivar matcha, offering a more distinct and transparent expression of flavour. A focused selection that [feels clean, consistent and true to its origin] made for both everyday drinking and slower, more considered moments.
