Description
Discover the depth and complexity of matcha with our Premium Ceremonial Okumidori Matcha, sourced from carefully selected Okumidori tea leaves and crafted through traditional Japanese methods.
Okumidori is one of Japan’s most celebrated matcha cultivars, admired for its deep umami and refined character.
This year’s harvest from Yame reveals a slightly more earthy texture compared to the signature velvety smoothness of past seasons. This is not a flaw, but a natural expression of the year’s climate.
Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian.
Quality Note: As a natural single-cultivar matcha, each harvest may show slight differences in texture, taste, or colour. These variations reflect the climate of the season – proof of authenticity, never a compromise in quality.
*Please note that the image is for reference purposes only. The actual colour may vary slightly due to differences in the seasonal batch.
Okumidori vs Other Cultivars
Classic Flavour: Compared to the light and floral Tsuyuhikari, Okumidori offers a more traditional matcha flavour with a balanced bitterness and umami.
Moderate Bitterness: Unlike the slightly sweeter Saemidori and Tsuyuhikari, Okumidori gives a more balanced taste with moderate bitterness.
Versatile Profile: While Seimei is well-rounded, Okumidori stands out for its smooth, creamy texture and balanced flavour, suitable for both traditional and modern matcha preparations.
Subtle Sweetness: Compared to the rich and creamy Saemidori, Okumidori has a slightly more pronounced umami with just a hint of sweetness, making it perfect for those who enjoy a classic, well-balanced matcha.
Note: This comparison is based on general perceptions and can vary depending on individual taste preferences.

easy to drink
easy to drink, good for matcha beginners and those who don’t need a super strong matcha taste in their lattes!
Thank you so much for sharing your video and feedback, Ash!
It’s a wonderful choice for beginners or anyone who enjoys a smoother, gentler flavour in their lattes.

Amazing for iced matcha lattes
Great as an every day go to matcha! Gorgeous deep green colour with a solid umami flavour. I like to have it iced over soy with a hint of salt and maple syrup <3
Thank you for your lovely review, Olivia!
We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying your matcha every day! That gorgeous green colour and umami depth really do make it special.
Your iced soy latte with a touch of salt and maple syrup sounds absolutely delicious. What a creative way to enjoy it
We might have to try that ourselves ✨

Very Tasty
I have been on the lookout for high quality tasty matcha for a while now, nothing has compared to this. It’s balanced, bright and easy to make into lattes. I find that it needs alot less time to be frothy as well.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and your beautiful photo, Sahar ✨
We’re thrilled to hear that our matcha has stood out as the best you’ve tried. Balanced, bright, and easy to whisk into lattes is exactly what we aim for.
We’re especially glad you’ve noticed how quickly it froths, a little sign of its quality. Enjoy every sip, and we look forward to being part of your daily matcha ritual

I enjoyed the ceremonial everyday blend matcha but don't have a great experience of matcha
I enjoyed the ceremonial everyday blend matcha but don't have a great experience of matcha. I've tried the ito-en matcha in individual serves but this does taste better and is better value. Also I'm a barbarian when it comes to matcha. I just add a heaped teaspoon to 80C water and stir with the teaspoon. I'll also never ever consider adding milk or anything else to matcha and will avoid lattes like the plague :)
Hi Robert,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear you’re enjoying our Ceremonial Everyday Blend and finding it both tastier and better value than others you’ve tried.
While a teaspoon does the job, you might find the experience even smoother and more enjoyable with a traditional bamboo whisk (chasen). It helps to properly aerate the matcha, creating a velvety froth and ensuring there are no clumps, a small change that makes a big difference.
And don’t worry, we’ll never ask you to add milk, pure, whisked matcha sounds just right for you ✨
