Kusamakura is a deeply masterful matcha, seemingly touched by divine grace. An exquisite blend of hand-picked shincha (first-flush) Asahi, Ujihikari, Saemidori and Samidori cultivars illustrate a complexity reminiscent of a symphony, rich and luxurious with beautiful, expressive movements. Kusamakura translates to "grass pillow" and was inspired by the turn of the century fiction work by Natsume Soseki, a haiku-style novel that lives through beauty.
Contains Caffeine

This remarkable koicha, or thick tea, lifts one into the realm of appreciation for the seemingly everyday, elevating the consciousness and energy. Sophisticated with an effortless power, this is a wonderful tea for mediation or tea ceremony. A member of our staff described the effect as, "light-filled glossy waves, like mountain water, cascading over the brain". Far out, indeed. Moreover, this ceremonial tea exemplifies the botanical identity of the leaves and their profound joy at unfurling under the gaze of our glorious sun on this tiny miracle of a pale blue dot we call home.
