Smooth and creamy with a clean, refreshing finish. This Asamiya matcha Okumidori is remarkably gentle on the palate, with no bitterness and a soft, mellow umami. Subtle and easy to drink, it's well-suited for everyday enjoyment.
Harvested from the graceful Okumidori cultivar, it brings a tender, rounded flavor and a vibrant green hue that invites calm and quiet moments.
Grown in Asamiya, a tea region with over 1,200 years of history dating back to the Heian period, this matcha is cultivated at around 400 meters above sea level near the border between Kyoto and Shiga prefectures. Frequent mist and dramatic shifts between day and night temperatures create ideal conditions, earning Asamiya its reputation as one of Japan’s finest tea-growing areas.
