Ideal for pure enjoyment and mindful matcha moments at the highest level.
What is Okumidori Matcha?
Matcha is finely ground green tea from Japan, made from the leaves of the Tencha tea plant, which are shaded before harvesting. This results in a particularly intense aroma, deep umami flavor, and a vibrant green color. Many appreciate matcha as a coffee alternative for clear focus without significant fluctuations.
The Okumidori Matcha from Uji stands out in particular: While many matchas are blends of different cultivars, Okumidori is a single cultivar – a single, pure tea variety.
This results in a particularly clear, smooth and elegant flavor profile with natural sweetness and very little bitterness – made for pure enjoyment at the highest level.
HOW-TO
Preparing matcha easily
1. Dosage of matcha: Using a bamboo spoon or a teaspoon, add 1-2 slightly heaped teaspoons of matcha to your chawan.
2. Add water: Pour 70–100 ml of water (approx. 80 °C) into the bowl. Make sure the water is not boiling hot, otherwise the matcha will become bitter.
3. Serve: Beat the matcha with the chasen in quick W- or M-movements until a fine, fluffy layer of foam is formed.
4. Enjoy: Take a moment to consciously enjoy the matcha. In Japan, they say: "Itadakimasu" – as a sign of gratitude before drinking.

production
Our tea farm is a traditional family business that has been in operation for several generations and has been producing organic matcha for several decades.
Our quality is confirmed by the strict standards of the organic certificate from the Japanese certification body JONA and the German organic certification.
Cultivation
The tea farmers protect the plants from the sun with black textile sheets or, traditionally, straw. Solar panels are also used. This increases the chlorophyll content in the leaves and softens the flavor. Cultivation is carried out without pesticides. Annual soil samples are taken, as well as laboratory tests for heavy metal and radiation contamination, to ensure the highest possible quality. Furthermore, each batch is carefully tested for its mineral content.
origin
The Matcha tea growing region is one of the best and oldest in Japan: the Uji region, west of Osaka. The region is known for its clean water and nutrient-rich soil, free of pesticides. The climate is ideal: mist from the Uji and Kizu rivers keeps the tea plants moist and reduces the risk of frost damage.
Labor-tested
Transparency you can taste: Our organic matcha is regularly tested by independent laboratories.
Why? Because we drink our own matcha every day – and because we want you to know exactly what's in your cup.
The results show:
- No pesticides detected
- Heavy metals significantly below EU limits
- Very good microbiological quality
We make all test reports available here transparently.
FAQs – Product & Differences
What is the difference between ceremonial matcha and okumidori?
Our Ceremonial Matcha is a premium blend of various Japanese cultivars, carefully selected for a balanced, creamy flavor profile. It is versatile and ideal for everyday enjoyment.
In contrast, Okumidori Matcha is a single cultivar matcha – meaning it consists of only one tea variety. This results in a particularly rare, clear, distinctive, and pure flavor profile with greater depth and elegance.
What does "Single Cultivar" mean in the context of Okumidori Matcha?
Single Cultivar means that the Matcha consists exclusively of a single tea variety – in this case Okumidori.
Unlike blends, which combine several varieties, this flavor variety showcases its pure character.
How does Okumidori Matcha taste in comparison?
Okumidori is exceptionally smooth, elegant, and harmonious in flavor. It has a pronounced natural sweetness, very delicate umami, and no bitterness.
Compared to classic blends, it appears clearer, rounder and overall of higher quality in its flavor profile.
Why is a single cultivar like Okumidori more complex to cultivate than a blend?
A single cultivar matcha like Okumidori is significantly more difficult to produce consistently, as the entire flavor depends solely on a single tea variety.
Each year's harvest is heavily influenced by weather conditions, temperature, hours of sunshine, and rainfall. These factors can significantly alter the plant's flavor profile – the natural sweetness, umami, or intensity can change from year to year.
With a single cultivar of matcha, this means that the taste naturally varies more and must be "approximated" anew each year without changing it.
In contrast, our Ceremonial Matcha varieties are produced as blends from several cultivars.
This involves combining different types of tea with varying characteristics – for example, more sweetness from one variety, more umami from another, or more body from a third. This allows the flavor to be specifically balanced.
How do I prepare Okumidori Matcha?
The preparation is identical to classic matcha:
- 1–2 g Matcha sieben
- For the warm version: Pour on water that is approximately 70–80 °C.
- for the iced version: Pour on cold water
- Beat with a bamboo whisk (chasen) until frothy.
For best results, a calm, even movement in a matcha bowl is recommended.
Then, if desired, add milk.
