TAKUMI is our finest ceremonial grade matcha, grown exclusively in Uji, Kyoto. It is a single-cultivar matcha made entirely from Gokō, a prized Japanese tea cultivar celebrated for its deep umami and distinctive character. For matcha lovers seeking the ultimate expression of Uji matcha, TAKUMI is a rare and special cup.

100% Gokō, Hand-Picked First Harvest Matcha

TAKUMI is made from hand-picked first-harvest tea leaves that are tana-shaded under traditional black shade canopies before harvest. This careful shading allows the leaves to develop exceptional depth, richness, and umami.

This ultimate ceremonial grade matcha offers layers of deep umami, smooth richness, and an elegant aroma that slowly unfolds across the palate, leaving a refined and lingering finish. Enjoy it as traditional usucha or koicha to fully appreciate the unique character of single-cultivar Gokō.
