Niko Ceremonial | 120g
Kyoto, Japan
京都
Light. Fresh. Oceanic.
Cultivar: yabukita
Product Details
Niko is a first-harvest, single-origin Yabukita from Kyoto, made exclusively from 100% ichibancha, the youngest and most delicate leaves of the season. Carefully shade-grown to build chlorophyll and L-theanine, it whisks into a soft, light green cup.
Open the bag and you’re greeted by a clean, oceanic aroma with soft notes of nori. The first sip is light and refreshing: tender spring greens up front, followed by a delicate, savoury hint of kelp and a gentle natural sweetness. The finish is clean and crisp, with minimal bitterness.
If you’re new to matcha, Niko is the perfect place to start. It’s approachable, easy to whisk and forgiving to prepare, yet refined enough to enjoy as traditional usucha every day. Its light, clean profile also shines in iced matcha, sparkling matcha, coconut water blends and fruit-infused drinks.
