Description
This premium, organic ceremonial grade Japanese matcha was cultivated and harvested by a small family farm in Wazuka, Kyoto – the heartland of Uji tea.
Led by 4th generation farmer Toshiさん, it was the first farm in Japan to be certified organic in the 1980s, long before the world became interested in the health benefits of eliminating herbicides, pesticides, and other synthetics to fertilize soil.
Since that time, the dedicated craftsmanship of Toshiさん and his family has enabled them to create a rich bouquet of delicious, eco-friendly teas along a hillside overlooking fog covered mountains and the Wazuka river.
This matcha, a cultivated variety called Okumidori (おくみどり), was developed to bring out the rich umami and aroma of a gyokuro (a type of shaded green tea) and the fresh features of a sencha (the most popular Japanese green tea).
Okumidori is characterized by its light body, flowery sweetness, rich aroma, and fresh color. However, this particular matcha is highlighted by its sweet umami, creamy, velvet-like texture, and deep jade green color with little to no bitterness or astringency.
It’s recommended for matcha connoisseurs that prioritize quality, flavor, and aroma, and an ethically sourced, environmentally sound, transparent supply chain.
Simply, it’s recommended for those that want to drink beautiful tea.
