This is a new cultivar for us, and this may be the most floral yet! Gokou is a somewhat uncommon cultivar that is used for shaded teas, so matcha is very much in its wheelhouse. The aromatic top notes of this tea are remarkable, leaving a long, floral finish on top of a creamy base.
Farmed in Uji without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and milled fresh in the US to preserve the highest amount of delicate aromatics. This is a beautiful example of flavors less commonly encountered in the world of matcha.
Taste: lush wildflowers, lilac, and key lime.
Texture: Smooth and bright, with a more refreshing quality than other matchas.
