- Description
- Description This is our finest matcha, the highest in both quality and colour across our entire range. The Gokou Cultiva r, 2026 first harvest from Yame, Fukuoka , handpicked at peak season when the tea plant's energy is most concentrated and the leaves are at their most flavourful. Only a very limited quantity of this batch is available. The colour is vivid green . The texture is full-bodied and silky . The umami is deep, savoury, and rich , not a background note, but the centrepiece of the cup. As the cup opens, a quiet roasted depth emerges, with a hint of chocolate that experienced matcha drinkers will recognise as one of Gokou's most distinctive signatures. A subtle natural sweetness threads through quietly, keeping the profile composed and refined rather than overwhelming. Complex, lingering, and deeply satisfying. A matcha that rewards your full attention and earns it, sip by sip. Cultivar: 100% single cultivar Gokou Harvest: 2026 First Harvest, handpicked mid-May and shade-grown Colour: Vivid green Style: Full-bodied, intense umami, deeply savoury Depth notes: Hint of chocolate in the roasted depth — a Gokou signature Sweetness: Subtle: a quiet thread beneath the savoury depth Finish: Complex, lingering, and quietly refined Gokou (ごこう), named after the Japanese word for "halo", has been the benchmark for premium ceremonial matcha since it was officially registered in 1953. It is the cultivar traditionally reserved for the highest quality ceremonial occasions, valued not for trendiness but for a depth and complexity that few other cultivars can match.
