Sourced directly from Japan, this single-cultivar matcha is made from the finest first flush spring harvest leaves, delivering an exceptionally smooth, fresh, and naturally sweet matcha experience.

Handpicked and carefully stone-ground, this premium ceremonial matcha powder is distinguished by its bright emerald green hue, silky texture, and clean, aromatic fragrance. The tea plants are shade-grown for approximately 20 days before harvest, increasing chlorophyll and amino acid levels. This results in a sweeter, more umami-rich, and less bitter cup. This meticulous cultivation process produces a light-bodied, creamy matcha with zero harshness and a beautifully balanced finish.

Perfect for traditional Usucha (thin matcha), high-grade matcha lattes, and refreshing cold brew matcha, this ceremonial blend is ideal for both purists and modern matcha lovers. Just as specialty coffee celebrates single-origin beans, premium matcha highlights single cultivars, making Okumidori a standout choice for those seeking elegance, clarity, and depth of flavour.

The Tradition of Ceremonial Matcha

Dating back to the 1500s, Japanese tea ceremonies transformed matcha preparation into an art form rooted in mindfulness, harmony, and respect.

There are two traditional styles of preparation: Usucha (thin tea) and Koicha (thick tea). Koicha uses a higher concentration of matcha and is reserved for the highest quality ceremonial-grade leaves, offering a deeply rich and velvety experience. Usucha, on the other hand, is lightly whisked to create a delicate foam and a smoother, more refreshing cup.

Freshness & Storage

Our ceremonial matcha is sealed in an airtight 30g silver foil pouch to preserve freshness, aroma, and colour. Each pouch yields approximately 15 premium servings, depending on your preparation style. To maintain peak quality, we recommend storing your matcha in the fridge or freezer after opening. For optimal protection from light and oxidation, our Miron glass jar offers superior UV shielding and freshness preservation.
