Gokou, meaning “five aromas” in Japanese, presents a smooth yet captivating fragrance. This matcha has an unexpectedly creamy taste for its type, with a rich olive emerald color. It carries vegetal notes of broccoli and avocado, along with a mild astringency. The flavor is full-bodied and well-rounded, with a savory depth and a creamy, balanced texture, all enhanced by a rich, pleasing umami.

**Recommended Uses**: Tea Ceremony, koicha (thick tea), lattes, or in sweets, desserts, and baked goods (food production).

This variety is commonly used to produce premium sencha, such as “Gyokuro,” and its rare leaves are also used for 100% matcha. The aroma is rich and smooth, living up to the “Goko” name, while the creamy flavor is so rich that it’s hard to believe it’s matcha. The bitterness is balanced, and the taste reveals a surprising depth of umami. Experience the unique charm and value of this single-variety, single-origin tea, which offers a taste that can only be appreciated in this form.
