Experience the pinnacle of traditional Kyoto tea culture.

Gokou is a highly prized, legendary cultivar native to the historic terroirs of Uji, Kyoto. Cultivated almost exclusively for luxury Gyokuro and competition-grade Tencha (Matcha), it is celebrated by tea connoisseurs worldwide for its unparalleled depth and sensory complexity.


Why Choose Uji Gokou?

• Unrivaled Umami: Gokou yields a remarkably rich, savory profile with virtually zero bitterness, delivering a luxurious, velvety mouthfeel.

• Distinctive Aroma: It boasts a captivating fragrance profile unlike any other—featuring deep, sweet vegetal notes accented by a unique, subtle hint of creamy cacao, bamboo, and natural straw.

• Masterful Shading: This cultivar thrives under traditional shading practices. Weeks in darkness supercharge the leaves with chlorophyll and L-theanine, resulting in a vibrant, neon-green cup and a deeply calming, focused energy.
