Hand-selected each year as the best of the best, this rare JAS-certified organic, single-cultivar matcha from Yame has vibrant colour, a velvety texture, and deep umami. It’s the one matcha you can trust as the finest in our collection. Only 68kg produced this year.
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.
