Okumidori Matcha

$53.00

Obubu Farm’s favorite matcha.

Okumidori matcha has a strong and bold profile. A delight for frequent Matcha tea drinkers as it carries a richness in depth and rounded body. This offering from the hills of Wazuka, Uji, Kyoto is a perfect balancing act of umami with earthy astringency, garden vegetal notes (think peas), and saline sweetness.

Okumidori grows later in spring than its sister cultivar. “Oku” means later and ‘midori’ means spring harvest.

Therefore it develops a fuller taste as it is harvested in late May. *Limited quantities available
