Bright, Smooth & Refreshing

Okumidori First Harvest Matcha is a smooth, vibrant and refreshing Japanese matcha crafted primarily from the Okumidori cultivar, lifted by Samidori as a secondary cultivar.

The result is a refreshing first harvest matcha with gentle umami, natural sweetness and very low bitterness. Best enjoyed as iced usucha, straight iced matcha or a refreshing iced latte.

Cultivar

Okumidori is the primary cultivar in this matcha.

It brings smoothness, balance, fresh green depth and a clean refreshing finish.

Samidori acts as the secondary cultivar, adding softness, brightness and a delicate elegance.

Taste

Smooth, bright and refreshing.

Expect fresh green notes, gentle umami, natural sweetness and very low bitterness.

The finish is clean and cooling, making it ideal for iced matcha rituals and everyday drinking.

How It Compares

Compared to Uji no Mori, Okumidori feels brighter, lighter and more refreshing rather than deep and prestigious. Compared to Tenmyo, it is softer and cleaner rather than bold, aromatic and complex. Compared to Imperial First Harvest, it is umami-forward, with a smoother, more cooling finish that makes it especially beautiful over ice, as iced usucha or as a light iced latte.

Storage

Keep sealed and away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Refrigerate after the delivery for best colour and flavour retention.
