Description
Description Sourced from Yame and made exclusively from 2026 first harvest Saemidori cultivar , this Koko Edition represents one of the most refined expressions of ceremonial matcha in the Maison Koko collection and one of the top three matchas in our range by quality score. This is our signature ceremonial matcha, carefully selected from a very limited pool of exceptional batches, only those that earned their place in our range. The one we reach for every morning, the one we recommend first, and the one that has quietly become a daily ritual for thousands of people who never thought of themselves as matcha lovers. Until they tried it. The colour is exceptionally vivid green. The mouthfeel is rounded and creamy , not sharp, not thin, but full and smooth in a way that coats the palate gently. The umami is rich and present, balanced by a natural sweetness that is unmistakably Saemidori. Very low astringency . No harsh edges. Just a mellow, refined cup that is as satisfying on the hundredth preparation as it was on the first. Cultivar: 100% single cultivar Saemidori Harvest: 2026 First Harvest, handpicked mid-May and shade-grown Colour: Vivid green Style: Mellow and smooth, rounded creamy mouthfeel Taste: Rich umami and natural sweetness Astringency: Very low, smooth from first sip to last Saemidori (さえみどり) means "clear green" in Japanese, and the name fits in every sense. The cup is luminous. The flavour is clean and composed. The experience is exactly what ceremonial matcha should be, made accessible without being simplified. Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian. A note on packaging: Tin and pouch colours may vary.
