Full-bodied with Subtle Floral Aromas
This hearty ceremonial-grade matcha brews a deeply rich emerald green cordial with robust body, sweet-savory undertones and a bouquet of floral notes and delicate tannins
Iridescent green in color, Meiko™ (an epithet referencing to the beautiful budding of a flowering plant) is masterfully blended to create a well-defined, flavorsome brew with sweet, mellow top notes, followed by savory undertones of salted caramel and with floral hints of tannins complementing the finish. This matcha is characterized by its remarkable ooika fragrance, a captivatingly refreshing aroma found only in the most exceptional shade-grown green tea. Perfect to be brewed on its own or enjoyed as part of a plethora of health elixirs of choice.

Julian W. ★★★★★

The floral aroma really comes through in the whisk, and the body is so robust it feels almost creamy in the mouth. This kilogram bag will last me months of daily bowls, and the sweet-savory finish keeps things interesting.

Eva ★★★★★

Whipped this up this morning and the floral aroma hit me before I even took a sip—the emerald green color is almost unreal. The sweet-savory undertone makes it perfect for a straight bowl without any sweetener, and a kilo has already lasted me over two months of daily use.

Joshua A. ★★★★★

The 1kg bag feels like a serious commitment, but it pays off — every bowl brews that deep emerald green with a rich, sweet-savory body that lingers nicely. I'm halfway through and the floral undertones stay just as pronounced as day one, no stale fade.
