Simply Irresistible.

Looking for a matcha that’s both refined and easy to love?

Koharu no Shiro is your perfect everyday luxury matcha- naturally creamy, full of umami, and refreshingly smooth from the first sip to the last.

Crafted from a masterful blend of Samidori, Okumidori, and Yabukita cultivars, this matcha brings together the best of Uji’s renowned tea heritage. Shade-grown and stone-milled from Ichibancha leaves, it offers a perfectly rounded flavor with an elegant depth- rich without being overpowering, and with a fresh, slightly sweet finish that keeps you coming back for more.

With its vibrant green hue and silky texture, Koharu no Shiro is beautifully versatile- equally suited to usucha (thin tea) or koicha (thick tea). Whether part of a quiet morning ritual or shared in a more formal tea setting, this matcha brings grace and balance to any moment.

Why drink matcha?

  1. Whole-leaf benefit: powdered to preserve every nutrient, not just an infusion
  2. Shade-grown for enhanced umami, chlorophyll, L-theanine, and antioxidants
  3. High in catechins (like EGCG), rutin, vitamin C- key for cell protection and vitality
  4. Delivers focused calm: L-theanine + caffeine offer alert relaxation without the crash
  5. Natural detox support via chlorophyll: helps promote liver and immune function
  6. Moderate caffeine: less than coffee, more than brewed tea
