Which matcha is for me?
Four single-origin teas, four personalities. Tap to compare flavor profiles.

Prized for high umami and natural sweetness: deep, savory layers of walnut and a smooth, velvety almond finish.

Our most balanced and smooth variety: mild bitterness, a rich creamy body and standout hazelnut and chocolate undertones.

A bold umami profile with well-rounded cashew undertones, soft floral notes and a subtle natural sweetness.

Roasted Japanese tencha with deep notes of dark chocolate, toasted caramel and freshly roasted coffee, and a smooth, toasty finish.
Origin

Ritual
Traditional usucha in four steps.
Sift 2g (about 1⅓ scoops) into your chawan.
60ml at 75–80°C (167–176°F).
Bamboo chasen, quick W-motion until a fine foam forms.
Sip straight, or top with oat or soy milk for a latte.

The 100g bag lets me enjoy premium Gokou without rationing scoops.
Deep savory flavor with creamy walnut finish in a generous size.
All the deep umami of Gokou with enough quantity to enjoy daily.
I wanted quantity without sacrificing quality and got both.
The 100g size means I can enjoy Gokou generously every day.
100g lasts much longer than tins and tastes just as fresh.
Our single cultivar Gokou is prized for its high umami and natural sweetness. Deep, savory layers unfold with notes of walnut and a smooth, velvety almond finish that lingers on the palate.
Both. Whisk it with water as usucha, or whisk it with a splash of warm water and pour over milk for a latte.
Usucha: sift 2–4g into a bowl, add about 60–70ml of 75–80°C (167–176°F) water and whisk in a fast “M” motion until frothy.
Latte: whisk 2–4g with a splash of warm water until smooth, then pour over milk (hot or iced). Sweeten to taste.
About 9–17 cups, depending on whether you use 2g or 4g per cup.
