Japan Ceremonial Grade Okumidori Matcha 30 gram (Organic NL-BIO-01)

Top quality Ceremonial grade Matcha from Japanese Miyako Tea in Shizuoka a few hours drive south of Tokyo.  

The Matcha is produced from the top leaves of the bush from the first flush harvest (first harvest of the year).

The bushes have been covered for the last 3 weeks before harvest to ensure the high quality tea with good sweetness, umami and very little bitterness.

The processed Tencha leaves are stone milled according to the old Japanese traditions which ensure a very fine powder with a particle size of 5-10 micron.  This ensure a smooth texture that dissolves well in liquid and gives a nice froth when whisked.

For this Matcha the Okumidori cultivar is used.  It a characterised by light sweetness and little bitterness, which makes it a popular choice for top-quality Matcha and often used for Koicha (Thick Tea)

This is our best Matcha and has a very nice rich flavor with good balance of light sweetness and umami
