Our Pinnacle Grade release for the season. 100% first harvest Uji tencha, stone ground, with perfect scores for colour, umami, sweetness, and depth. Exceptional as usucha, koicha, or latte.
From Uji, Kyoto, the region that has defined Japanese matcha for over eight centuries, this is our Pinnacle Grade release for the season.
Each year we select the finest matcha of the season to be honoured as our Pinnacle Grade, chosen for its balance of colour, aroma, umami, and depth. This year's release is made from 100% first harvest Uji tencha, blended from Yabukita and Sayamakaori cultivars and ground on traditional stone mills.
What sets it apart is that it excels everywhere. Most matcha is built for one purpose. This one holds its character as usucha, as koicha, or in a latte, without compromise in any of them.
Perfect scores across colour, umami, sweetness, roasted aroma, water dispersion, depth, and particle fineness, with bitterness and astringency at the lowest end of the scale. The result is a matcha of remarkable richness and vibrancy that stays smooth from the first sip to the last.
Cultivars: Yabukita and Sayamakaori
Harvest: 2026 first harvest
Mill: Traditional stone ground
Style: Rich, vibrant, and deeply balanced
Best for: Usucha, koicha, or lattes

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! ✨

Good
For the price and the fact it was suppose to be the award winning matcha, I did find it slightly on the bitter side. But it’s still a really amazing matcha 🍵
Thank you so much, Rylie ✨

Four cultures. One obsession. Sparked in Paris, rooted in Korea, sourced from Japan's most revered tea fields by fashion designer Gina Kim, and refined through the lens of French elegance, Maison Koko is the meeting of four cultures and one unwavering conviction. Every cup reflects a commitment to heritage, provenance, luxury, and single-cultivar integrity. Now expanding across Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. This is matcha as it was always meant to be.
We loved seeing your photos and video of the Ceremonial Matcha (Latte Blend).
It’s fantastic to hear that the freshness and smooth flavour impressed you just as much as the colour. A bright, creamy cup that looks as good as it tastes is always a win!
Thank you, Green Dust Matcha Tea, for sharing your lovely creations with us. 💚
