【NEW】Kyoto Gokou Unsweetened Matcha | Single Origin

Single-origin, first-flush Kyoto Gokou matcha — single-cultivar, stone-milled, with rich umami and velvety texture.

Fragrant and richly layered, Kyoto Gokou Unsweetened Matcha is crafted from shade-grown, single-origin Gokou leaves cultivated in Wazuka village, Kyoto. Harvested from the first flush, this exceptional matcha comes from a rare cultivar traditionally reserved for Japan’s finest gyokuro tea, and is stone-milled to a silky, velvety texture—offering a depth and complexity rarely found in everyday matcha.

True to its name, Gokou (“Five Aromas”) unfolds with a rich, multi-layered fragrance and a creamy, velvety mouthfeel that elevates every sip. Bitterness is perfectly balanced, giving way to deep, savoury umami that lingers on the palate, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and finesse.

As a super-premium, single-origin, single-cultivar matcha, it delivers the pure, unblended expression of this iconic Kyoto tea, allowing you to experience its unique character in its fullest form. Cultivated primarily for gyokuro and high-grade tencha (leaves for matcha), Gokou scores highly in tea competitions, prized for its distinctive aroma, vibrant umami, and refined flavour—making it a truly premium matcha experience.
