About Organic Matcha Ceremonial Grade Yame - Okumidori 30g

Experience the depth of Japanese tea craftsmanship with this ceremonial-grade Matcha, meticulously crafted from the Okumidori cultivar. Organically grown in the esteemed Yame region, Okumidori is celebrated for its vibrant green hue, rich umami flavor, and smooth, creamy texture. Its natural mineral and vegetal notes, complemented by gentle sweetness and balanced astringency, make it a distinguished choice for both traditional tea ceremonies and modern Matcha preparations.

About

Okumidori is a prized tea cultivar known for producing Matcha with a deep, jade-green colour, a rich, velvety texture and offers a bolder flavour than more delicate cultivars like Seimei. Expect a harmonious balance of umami and gentle astringency, with subtle notes of steamed greens and minerality. Grown organically in the Yame region, renowned for its cool climate and nutrient-rich soil, this Matcha delivers a full-bodied and satisfying ceremonial experience.

Cultivation & Process

The Okumidori tea plants are shaded for 3 to 4 weeks before harvest, a traditional method that enhances chlorophyll levels and amino acid content, resulting in a deeper green leaf and pronounced umami taste. Post-harvest, the leaves are steamed to halt oxidation, then dried and sorted to remove stems and veins. At this stage, the resulting leaf is known as tencha. These tencha leaves are then ground into a fine powder using traditional stone mills, a meticulous process that preserves the tea's quality and flavour.

Effects

This ceremonial grade Matcha is a nutritional powerhouse, containing the equivalent of up to 10 cups of regular green tea. It also has high levels of L-theanine which promote relaxation and mental clarity, providing sustained energy without the jitters. Regular consumption may enhance cognitive performance, concentration, memory, and mood.

How to Enjoy / Tea Pairing

Enjoy this high-quality Matcha pure to experience its full flavour or with seaweed salad and sushi to enhance the vegetal notes.
