Matcha, considered.
Single-origin, stone-milled, and shipped within weeks of harvest.
Our story
Four gardens, kept apart.
Kohaku began with a small frustration: nearly every matcha sold abroad is blended, and blending averages away the thing worth tasting. We work with four gardens across Uji, Nishio and Yame, and we keep each harvest separate — whatever that costs us in consistency. The tea changes from one year to the next. We think that is the point.
Where to start

From the Journal
- Why Origin Matters: Uji, Nishio, Yame
Most matcha sold in the West is blended from several regions. Keeping a garden separate costs more and makes a less consistent product. It is also the only way to taste where it came from. - Ceremonial vs. Culinary Grade: A Guide
The terms are not regulated, which means they describe intent rather than a standard. Here is what actually separates one grade from another. - How to Whisk Matcha at Home
The difference between a smooth bowl and a gritty one is rarely the powder. It is sifting, water temperature, ratio, and the shape of your wrist.
