Nozomi (のぞみ), meaning hope, is a matcha created in memory of something we lost but will never forget. Some names live quietly in the heart, carrying both love and longing—gentle reminders that even in grief, hope continues to exist.
Sourced from a single-cultivar Okumidori grown in Shizuoka, Japan, Nozomi offers a comforting and elegant profile. It reveals delicate hints of dark chocolate and a rich combination of umami and natural sweetness, with a smooth body and little to no bitterness. The finish is soft, creamy, and naturally sweet, making it beautifully balanced whether prepared as usucha or whisked into a creamy latte.
Nozomi is more than a matcha.
It is a quiet remembrance, a small expression of love, and a symbol that hope still grows.
