Okumidori single-varietal tea comes from the first harvest of the youngest leaves in the renowned Yame region of Japan. Local farmers consider the Okumidori and Saemidori cultivars to be the very best they have ever grown.
As soon as you open the package, you’ll be greeted by a fresh, naturally sweet aroma that fully unfolds as you whisk it. In the cup, it captivates with its deep color, velvety-smooth texture, and full, rich flavor featuring pronounced umami and a subtle sweetness—completely free of any unpleasant bitterness, astringency, or tartness.
It shines brilliantly on its own in the traditional usucha style (just a pure infusion with water), but it also holds its own in milk-based drinks like matcha lattes, where it retains its intense flavor profile.
