Special Selection Premium Ceremonial Matcha - Okumidori

Special Selection Premium Ceremonial Matcha – Okumidori (20g Tin)

Single Cultivar | First Harvest | Shade-Grown | Stone-Milled

Toasty, nutty, and deeply satisfying — our Special Selection Okumidori is a premium Uji matcha made for those who love complexity and richness. Grown under shade for over 26 days, this first flush, single-cultivar matcha delivers a uniquely warm and layered flavor profile unlike any other in the Origin Uji lineup.

Harvested in early spring and stone-milled in small batches, Okumidori develops a bold but balanced character with notes of roasted chestnut and green walnut. It’s an approachable ceremonial matcha that still honors the craft of single origin, deep shading, and small-scale production.
