Umi matcha’s Gokou Matcha is a single-cultivar matcha produced by Nishio Tea Cooperative located south of Nishio city. Gokou though popularly grown in Kyoto is also cultivated in many other parts of Japan. Gokou is shaded longer than most cultivars, producing dark leaves that mill into an unusually rich matcha. Sweetness leans toward dark chocolate; aroma fills the room before the bowl reaches your lips.

Gokou ごこう is a highly esteemed cultivar, treasured for its distinctive, powerful aroma (known as "Ooika”) and a profoundly deep umami. This matcha offers a pleasant body with an elegant sweetness, making it ideal for the most refined beverages and culinary masterpieces.
