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.
KILL GREEN Type 05 is our dedicated Koicha blend, dubbed the Greenmaxxer. Built on a primary base of rich Samidori with structural support from rare Ujihikari, Type 05 is engineered to be exceptionally smooth, delicate, and entirely free of harsh bitterness or astringency. Because it is crafted specifically for thick-tea density, its flavor profile is super light, soft, and refined. It almost vanishes in milk, making it best appreciated pure as a traditional Koicha or lengthened with water as a clean Matcha Americano.
Recommended preparation:
Whisk with 165°F water. Best served as usucha, koicha-style concentration, or a high-intensity cup.
Tasting notes:
Ultra-delicate glutamate umami, soft floral undertones, zero astringency, silky texture, light and pristine finish.
