Organic Uji Matcha – Single-Cultivar Okumidori 30g
A Pure and Balanced Expression of Organic Uji Matcha
Okumidori is one of Kyoto’s most quietly exceptional cultivars — admired for its balance, clarity, and unmistakably clean character.
Where some cultivars deliver depth or sweetness, Okumidori offers harmony: a smooth, calm flavour that feels grounding, steady, and refined.
This organic ceremonial matcha showcases the cultivar at its most elegant, grown with care on a multigenerational tea farm in Wazuka.
Organic Cultivation Rooted in Tradition
Crafting organic single-cultivar matcha at a premium level is increasingly rare in Uji. The tea plants require consistent soil health, careful shade management, and completely chemical-free cultivation.
On this 160-year-old family farm, these practices are maintained with deliberate slowness and respect for nature.
The result is a certified organic matcha that tastes natural, pure, and unmistakably fresh — a reflection of the land it comes from.
Okumidori: A Cultivar Known for Clarity and Calmness
Each Uji cultivar has a personality.
Okumidori’s is defined by:
• Gentle umami that doesn’t overpower
• A smooth, clean finish with no bitterness
• Subtle natural sweetness
• A bright, honest green tone that highlights its quality
It is a cultivar chosen by people who value refinement over intensity — an ideal choice for ceremonial bowls or peaceful morning rituals.
Crafted From the First Spring Flush
Only the earliest leaves of the season are used in this matcha, selected at their peak when they carry the highest concentration of sweetness and amino acids.
After several weeks of shading, the leaves are processed into tencha and stone-milled in small batches to preserve their delicate fragrance and flavour.
This slow, traditional approach is what gives this Okumidori matcha its calm, harmonious profile.
Limited Organic Production Each Year
Because organic single-cultivar matcha requires extensive time and labour, only a small amount of Okumidori is produced annually in Wazuka.
Once this seasonal batch sells out, it can’t be restocked until the following spring harvest.
For customers seeking pure, certified organic matcha with a gentle, balanced character, Okumidori offers something truly special.
Packaged for Freshness
Each 30g tin is sealed to protect aroma, colour, and purity.
Refrigerate after opening to maintain peak organic quality.
