Kaori-san: A name, a soul, a taste.

At Maïdo, every matcha has a first name. Not just for show, but to reflect its character and its identity.

Kaori (香) means “fragrance,” “aroma” in Japanese, but not just any kind.
It’s the comforting fragrance, the warm aroma of a cake fresh out of the oven, or the subtle scent of a happy memory.

Kaori-san is the one who loves to beautify things without overdoing it. Gourmet, creative, accessible, she loves to slip into your daily recipes and enhance them without ever stealing the show.

In an iced latte, a tiramisu, homemade granola... she does what she does best: adding a discreet but unforgettable touch of magic.

FAQs

Ceremonial matcha is meant to be drunk on its own, whisked with hot water (usucha or koicha). It is generally sweeter, rounder, with very low bitterness.

Culinary matcha, such as Kaori-san, is designed for recipes: its taste is more pronounced to stand out in cooking, while remaining balanced. At Maïdo, even our culinary matcha is carefully selected for its fineness and quality.

Premium culinary matcha guarantees a balanced taste, vibrant color, and a beautiful finesse on the palate. Kaori-san has been selected to enhance your recipes without overpowering them, with precision and elegance.

Yes! Kaori-san is a versatile culinary matcha. It works equally well in sweet recipes (cookies, cakes, tiramisu, ice cream, etc.) and in your daily matcha lattes.

It adds flavour without masking other ingredients. It's an excellent ally to unleash your creativity, from breakfast to dessert.

It all depends on the preparation! For a matcha latte, 1 to 2g are enough depending on the desired intensity. For baking, count between 5 and 10g for a 4 to 6-serving cake.

Feel free to adjust according to your taste: Kaori-san has the advantage of expressing itself without being too bitter, even in a slightly generous quantity.

Not at all. Mei-san, it's pure matcha, plain and simple. No sugar, no coloring, no added flavor. Just shade-grown, hand-picked Tencha leaves, stone-ground. Nothing more, nothing hidden, and that's much better this way ;)

Matcha contains a little caffeine (around 30 mg per serving), so as always during pregnancy: listen to your body, be reasonable, and if in doubt… ask your favorite doctor. Mei-san won't be offended.

After opening, keep Kaori-san tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light. This will help preserve its color, aromas, and properties for as long as possible.

Yes! Our packaging is airtight to protect the matcha from air, moisture, and light. It is also recyclable, in accordance with local sorting guidelines. Practical, eco-friendly, and designed to preserve the quality of your matcha day after day.

Sourced from Japan

We don't do things by halves: Kaori-san matcha comes directly from a Japanese producer in Kagoshima prefecture, without unnecessary intermediaries. We know the farmers, we select what we would like to drink ourselves every morning.

100% Tencha Leaves

Real matcha is Tencha! These precious tea leaves are shade-grown, then slowly ground. No strange green powder here, just tradition in its purest form.

No sugar. No additives.

No hidden tricks or magic powders here. What you drink is 100% pure matcha. Nothing else. And frankly, it doesn't need anything else to shine.

Naturally rich in L-theanine

Matcha's little secret? It's that zen molecule that relaxes without making you sleepy. Concentration, calm, and clarity guaranteed. Not bad for a simple cup of tea, right?
