Grown in Uji, Kyoto — one of Japan’s most historic matcha-producing regions — this is a matcha prized for clarity, structure, and presence in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1251\" data-start=\"848\"\u003eOften described as “ceremonial grade,” our Okumidori represents the highest quality of matcha traditionally prepared for whisking: vibrant, expressive, and deeply satisfying. While “ceremonial” is not a regulated or certified term, it is commonly used to describe matcha made from the finest leaves, with careful cultivation and processing, and a flavour profile well suited to being enjoyed on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1342\" data-start=\"1253\"\u003eThis is matcha with brightness and confidence — refined, focused, and unmistakably alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1363\" data-start=\"1344\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1363\" data-start=\"1344\"\u003eA brief lineage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1365\"\u003eWhisked tea preparation flourished in China during the Song Dynasty (10th–13th centuries), where powdered tea was valued for its texture, aroma, and meditative preparation. This practice was later introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks, where it became central to Japanese tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1893\" data-start=\"1652\"\u003eIn Uji, near Kyoto, matcha production was further refined through careful shading, cultivar selection, and stone-milling. Over time, cultivars like Okumidori emerged — valued for their colour, aroma, and balance when prepared as whisked tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1986\" data-start=\"1895\"\u003eOkumidori reflects this lineage through its clarity, freshness, and ceremonial suitability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2005\" data-start=\"1988\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2005\" data-start=\"1988\"\u003eTaste profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2239\" data-start=\"2007\"\u003eFresh, vibrant, and distinctly green. Expect notes of young spinach, sweet grass, and spring herbs, supported by a clean umami backbone and gentle natural sweetness. The texture is smooth and creamy, with a notable mineral character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2346\" data-start=\"2241\"\u003eBitterness is low but present enough to add structure, making Okumidori feel energetic rather than heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2420\" data-start=\"2348\"\u003eThis is a matcha that feels awake — expressive without being aggressive. We like to call it our grounding cultivar. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2438\" data-start=\"2422\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2438\" data-start=\"2422\"\u003eHow to enjoy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2642\" data-start=\"2440\"\u003eCeremonial matcha is traditionally enjoyed whisked simply with hot water, allowing its natural character to take the lead. This preparation highlights Okumidori’s colour, aroma, and fresh green profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2895\" data-start=\"2644\"\u003eOkumidori can also be enjoyed in lattes or modern preparations, especially when you want brightness and definition to carry through milk or light sweeteners.
