Smoother ceremonial matcha with some light notes of edamame and baby spinach. This matcha is made from the Okumidori cultivar, a premium tea cultivar prized for its smooth and creamy flavor. This is quite similar to our matcha washimine but with a little bit more astringency. You may notice a slight tingling on the tongue with this tea but for the most part it is smooth and sweet.

About the Farm This Okumidori matcha comes to us from a small farm in Wazuka, slightly south of Kyoto. The area around Kyoto has always been famous for its matcha production, ever since the early 1200s. Still today, Uji, Ujitawara and Wazuka produce much of Japan's best matcha, and there are many talented matcha farmers with unique styles of cultivation.
