Okumidori of Somada Ceremonial Matcha

Renowned for its smoothness, lack of bitterness and astringency, and slightly floral finish - Okumidori is a popular cultivar that is the perfect place to start exploring the world of ceremonial matcha. More than anything, it is remarkable for its creamy body, even without the addition of milk. In this particular batch, we're also tasting notes of cashew and toasted nori.

Somada is a sub-region of Wazuka, the main tea town of Uji. This Okumidori is grown there by the same farmer who grows our Asahi. This farmer is quickly becoming renowned in Uji for his success using biodynamic farming methods to make outstanding tencha. This means our Okumidori is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

As with all of our matcha, our Somada Okumidori is milled-to-order by us in Minneapolis. This guarantees the highest percentage of aromatic compounds and antioxidants, as well as a smoother matcha.
