Koicha Reserve Matcha 濃茶

The finest expression in our collection. Our Reserve matcha is recommended for Koicha, thick tea, which is the most revered preparation in Japanese tea ceremony. It requires a matcha of exceptional depth and richness.

Our Koicha Reserve Matcha is a Grande Ceremonial grade Oku Midori, stone-ground from shade-grown first harvest leaves. Taste is creamy, fragrant, naturally caffeinating, and reveals layers of umami with an elegant, lingering aftertaste. Prepare as koicha for a silky, concentrated bowl of pure depth, or as usucha for a bright cup.

Matcha is rich in powerful compounds that support whole-body wellness. L-theanine, promotes relaxation and focus. Catechins, potent antioxidants, help neutralize harmful free radicals and support cellular health. A 2024 clinical study from the University of Tsukuba found that daily matcha intake improved sleep quality and social cognitive function in older adults. Research suggests matcha also supports stress and anxiety relief, cognitive clarity, muscle recovery, and healthy gut bacteria.
