Ceremonial grade matcha cultivar Okumidori is known for its gently sweet flavor and creamy light texture. Its balance impresses with soft green notes and a subtle lingering finish. It is grown using the Kabuse method in which the tea bushes are shaded before harvest allowing a richer flavor to develop and a higher amino acid content. With its vibrant green color and silky smooth mouthfeel it is a perfect choice for those who appreciate delicate and refined flavors.

A Taste of Silence
I was perhaps seven years old. The streets of Kyoto were wet with the soft spring rain that only Uji knows. My grandmother sat me down on the wooden step in front of her tea room, my clothes muddy from play. In her hands, she held a small bowl, inside, one of the most precious things I would ever taste: Ceremonial Matcha. “This is not tea for thirst, ” she whispered. “This is tea for listening.” I watched her trembling but skillful hand whisk powder into hot water. Everything grew still. The rain, the birds, even my restless legs. The first sip was warm, velvet, grassy. My grandmother’s gaze drifted outward, not at me but at the rain. That day I learned: good tea does not only grow from the soil, it grows from memory.
