Description
From the prestigious Yame region of Fukuoka Prefecture, this rare, limited-edition matcha represents the highest expression of Japanese tea craftsmanship.
Each year, Maison Koko carefully selects the rarest and highest quality organic single cultivar matcha to be honoured as our Pinnacle Grade. This represents the finest expression of the season, chosen for its unparalleled balance of colour, aroma, and umami depth. Last year, our Pinnacle was the Organic Okumidori single cultivar, celebrated for its round, smooth richness.
This year, we proudly present the Organic Saemidori single cultivar Pinnacle Grade.
Unlike our current Organic Saemidori, this special harvest was produced as a super-grade expression of the cultivar, crafted with extraordinary care, resulting in a tea of exceptional sweetness, vibrancy, and depth.
Ultra-Limited Rarity:
Only 68kg of this remarkable matcha was produced this year, making it one of the most exclusive releases.
Maison Koko Pinnacle Grade is more than tea. It is a once-a-year celebration of nature’s perfection, honouring the artistry of Japanese tea cultivation at its highest level.
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
This is JAS certified organic matcha, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Learn more about organic vs non-organic matchahere.

Clean, Vibrant Matcha That’s Become Part of My Routine
I’ve been using the Pinnacle Grade Organic Matcha Powder from Maison Koko for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. The first thing I noticed was the bright green colour. It looks really fresh compared to other matchas I’ve tried.
The taste is smooth and clean, with a gentle umami and a natural sweetness. There’s no bitterness at all, which I really appreciate. It also whisks up easily and has a super fine texture, so it’s pleasant to drink without any grittiness.
I’ve been having it daily, sometimes on its own and sometimes as a matcha latte. It’s become a small but calming part of my day that I really look forward to. I like that it’s organic and from a single harvest, but honestly, what matters most is that it tastes consistently good.
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it this much, but it’s now something I actually make time for every day.
Your photos beautifully capture that vibrant green colour you mentioned, Ankle!
It's wonderful to hear how our Pinnacle Grade Organic Matcha has become such a cherished part of your daily routine.
Knowing it brings you that daily moment of calm - whether pure or as a latte - means everything to us.
Thank you for sharing your genuine experience! ✨
