Description
Full-bodied Japanese matcha from Shizuoka
KAITO+ is a pure Japanese matcha produced from second-harvest Tencha leaves grown in Shizuoka, one of Japan’s best-known tea-growing regions. Compared with delicate first-harvest matcha, it offers a stronger, fuller and slightly more bitter green-tea character.
Its bold flavour remains noticeable when combined with milk, plant-based drinks, fruit or other ingredients. This makes KAITO+ an excellent choice for hot and iced matcha lattes, smoothies, shakes and creative drinks. It can also be prepared traditionally with water by anyone who prefers a more intense matcha.
The finely ground powder has a vibrant green colour and contains no added sugar, flavourings, colourings or fillers. It is packed in a 30g aroma-protection tin with an airtight pull-tab seal, helping protect the matcha from moisture and oxidation before opening.

Flavour profile
Bold, vegetal and pleasantly full-bodied with a slightly bitter finish. This stronger character makes the matcha particularly effective in milk-based drinks, where more delicate matcha varieties can lose their flavour.
Traditional preparation
- Sift 1–2g of matcha into a matcha bowl or cup.
- Add approximately 60–80ml of water heated to 70–80°C.
- Whisk in a rapid zigzag motion until smooth and lightly frothy.
- Enjoy immediately.
Matcha latte preparation
Mix 1–2g of matcha with approximately 50ml of water at 70–80°C. Whisk until smooth, then add 150–200ml of warm or cold milk or plant-based drink. Sweeten to taste if desired and serve hot or over ice.
