This organic Gokou Matcha Koiai comes from the Gokou cultivar. Typically, this is a premium cultivar of matcha powder, known for its nice full-bodied and umami flavour. If you like these bold savory flavors of matcha, this is the best option for you to try. Compared to the Matcha Washimine, this tea is fresher and more full-bodied. It is a very well balanced and flavourful matcha with less astringency. The flavour is quick and straight to the point, but it finishes with a round creamy flavor in the end.
This ceremonial matcha comes to us from the mountains of Shizuoka, Japans largest tea growing region. The farmers of Osada source their tea leaves from small family farms in the organic village of Isagawa to ensure the tea is made with great attention to detail and absolutely no pesticides. We visited these tea farms in April 2019 to see the fields and factories where it was produced in person.
