Matcha Kurogi - Ceremonial

A creamy matcha with floral and chocolatey notes

Born of refined craftsmanship, this limited-edition ceremonial matcha comes from the delicate blend of three cultivars – Yabukita, Saemidori, and Saeakari – carefully orchestrated by master producer Mr. Oishi.

Stone-milled into a resplendent green powder, it reveals in water a dense, silky, and creamy texture that caresses the palate with elegance. The cup unfolds in splendid balance: floral orchid notes, vibrant vegetal freshness, and a suave sweetness reminiscent of a lush tropical garden. A subtle nuance of milk chocolate lingers in the background, leaving a long and harmonious finish.

Harvested at 200 meters altitude in the cool spring air, this matcha is an invitation to contemplation. Best enjoyed pure, in a chawan, for a sublime experience.

Benefits

Matcha is renowned for supporting steady, fluid alertness, thanks to the natural synergy of caffeine and L-theanine. It promotes precise mental clarity without tension. Its wealth of chlorophyll and antioxidants also accompanies seasonal transitions and periods of sustained mental effort.

With its moderate to high caffeine content, it is ideal for studious mornings, meditative practices, or daily rituals of grounding.
