“Kokonto” comes from the Japanese word “Kokon” (古今), meaning “from the Past to the Present.”

Our journey began at Hiyoshi Shrine in Shiga, Japan — the sacred ground where green tea was first planted in Japan over 1,200 years ago.

While praying at this historical origin, a single phone call changed my life: I received a job request from a traditional Japanese tea company.

It was a fate that connected the Past (the 1,200-year origin of Japanese tea) with my Present (my destiny with tea).

Kokonto Matcha was born from this miraculous bond. We bring you authentic, premium Japanese matcha rooted in history and crafted for your modern life.
