Description
Handpicked, stone-milled, limited-edition matcha with a refreshing twist, offering the finest quality of Kyoto’s Gokou Cultivar first harvest (mid-May). Expect a balanced profile of gentle natural sweetness and deep umami with minimal bitterness (1 out of 5), crafted for a smooth, lingering finish. It boasts a vibrant green colour, a delightful aroma, and an exceptionally smooth, finely milled texture.
Gokou is a relatively rare tea cultivar in Japan, offering a more refined taste compared to most matcha varieties.
Our signature, exclusive Gokou harvest is perfect for both thick (koicha) and thin tea (usucha). This premium ceremonial powder is best for special and traditional occasions and daily enjoyment.
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
This certified organic matcha is grown naturally, without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Organic methods often produce a slightly lighter green matcha with a more pronounced bitterness, but they also offer a healthier, more traditional taste that some people specifically prefer. Learn more about organic vs non-organic matcha here.
For a more vibrant, less bitter experience, we highly recommend exploring our Yame matcha options.

I bought two packs, one for me and one to gift. It’s been a lovely everyday matcha to drink, fresh in flavour and fast delivery. Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words, Mary!
We’re so pleased you’re enjoying it! What a thoughtful idea to gift a pack as well; matcha really is something wonderful to share.
It’s lovely to hear you’ve found the flavour fresh and the delivery speedy, we’ll be sure to keep it that way.
Thanks again for your support ✨

I enjoyed the ceremonial everyday blend matcha but don't have a great experience of matcha
I enjoyed the ceremonial everyday blend matcha but don't have a great experience of matcha. I've tried the ito-en matcha in individual serves but this does taste better and is better value. Also I'm a barbarian when it comes to matcha. I just add a heaped teaspoon to 80C water and stir with the teaspoon. I'll also never ever consider adding milk or anything else to matcha and will avoid lattes like the plague :)
Hi Robert,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you’re enjoying our Ceremonial Everyday Blend and finding it both tastier and better value than others you’ve tried.
While a teaspoon does the job, you might find the experience even smoother and more enjoyable with a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen). It helps to properly aerate the matcha, creating a velvety froth and ensuring there are no clumps, a small change that makes a big difference.
And don’t worry, we’ll never ask you to add milk, pure, whisked matcha sounds just right for you ✨
Thanks again for sharing your experience with us!

Maison Koko was born from fashion designer Gina Kim’s passion for authentic matcha, sparked during a rainy afternoon in a Parisian café and fulfilled in Japan, where she immersed herself in matcha cultivation traditions and found the finest farms for her craft. Maison Koko now offers an exceptional, authentic matcha experience, embodying mindfulness, wellness, and a deep connection to true Japanese heritage.
