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.
