Nodoka, which is Japanese for “serenity,” was named after the bright, warm feeling we get once the days start getting longer in spring.

Nodoka has medium richness and would place above Kan in our regular year-round selection.

When you start to whisk it, you’ll notice its fragrance is fresh and dew-like, wafting up from the bowl. Take a sip, and you’ll taste a note of astringency followed soon by layers of sweetness and umami. Pause for a second to experience the aftertaste, which lingers with a balanced, refreshing character.

As koicha, this matcha’s nuances are much more prominent, and you can fully appreciate its balance of umami, astringency, and fragrance. In a matcha latte, its mild astringency pairs well with the milk, producing a mellow drink with more umami than our lighter blends.

Its package was inspired by the new green growth and pink sakura (cherry tree) blossoms of spring in Kyoto. We hope this design fills you with the spirit of spring during your daily matcha sessions this season.
