Matcha Kiwami "The Ultimate Peak" is an exclusive-quality ceremonial-grade matcha from Master Sakamoto. It is made from leaves picked during the first April harvest in Kagoshima Prefecture.

The word Kiwami (極み) comes from the Japanese verb kiwameru, meaning to take something to its utmost limit, to bring it to perfection. It stands for the summit, the ultimate point, absolute perfection. The Japanese use it wherever true mastery is at stake, whether in craftsmanship, martial arts or tea. The name says it all: a point beyond which one cannot go.

Every bowl turns into an exceptional moment that you will remember for a long time. Matcha Kiwami is so good that it will delight any matcha lover, and you can serve it without the slightest worry even to a Japanese tea master visiting your home.

Why you will fall in love with Matcha Kiwami

A very fine texture, a velvety infusion and a green shade with a pearly hue.

A gentle, balanced flavor with flawless sweetness, harmoniously finished with a long, pleasantly sweet aftertaste.

Suitable for traditional preparation of both Usucha and Koicha - just 2 g or 5 g of matcha per 100 ml of water at 65 °C.

When stored properly, this matcha will mature over time into a more complex and creamier flavor.
