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.

For a more vibrant, less bitter experience, we highly recommend exploring our Yame matcha options.

The matcha arrived reasonably quickly amd safely
The matcha arrived reasonably quickly amd safely. It’s is a beautiful bright colour amd tastes smooth and fresh. Only disappointment was that I thought it came in a beautiful black amd gold tin (which was pictured in ad) that I could leave out on my bench and was part of the reason I chose that particular one but it didn’t! It came in a plain silver tin.

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.
Tenkei matcha has such a delicate balance of flavours to it. I found it to be my all time favourite for matcha. Smooth as silk, a slight scent of floral yet delivers underlying layers of sweetness and umami upon my tastebuds. One for the senses. 👌✨️
