Fine granite-milled matcha from Uji, Kyoto, crafted from only the finest shade-grown, competition-grade tencha leaves from the highest ranking farms. Prepared on rare occasions, when only the highest expression will suffice.
Fine granite-milled matcha from Uji, Kyoto. A darker expression of KILL GREEN, crafted for depth, warmth, and cultivar-driven character.
KILL GREEN Type 02 is an Okumidori-forward blend with Samidori support, selected for its roasted aroma, nutty sweetness, and round, grounded body. The cup opens with deep green umami and soft toasted notes, followed by a smooth finish with less floral lift and more warmth than Type 01. Despite its deeper profile, Type 02 carries a clean, cooling finish that makes it especially satisfying on a hot day.
This tier is designed for traditional preparation, slow sipping, and serious evaluation. It is still firmly in the KILL GREEN class, but with a deeper, nuttier profile that highlights the strength and structure of Okumidori.
Recommended preparation:
Whisk with 170°F water. Best served as usucha, koicha-style concentration, or a rich, high-intensity cup.
Tasting notes:
Roasted aroma, nutty sweetness, deep umami, rounded body, smooth finish.
