FKRO Okumidori Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder — 30g Tin, Organic Single-Cultivar, Stone-Ground

FKRO Organic Okumidori is a stone-ground, ceremonial-grade matcha powder from a single-cultivar family farm in Kagoshima, Japan — vivid jade color, smooth umami, and USDA/JAS organic certified.

Harvested on a small, family-run mountain farm that has practiced organic cultivation since 1954, this Okumidori ceremonial matcha is shade-grown, hand-picked, and stone-milled in small batches to preserve aroma and texture. The powder arrives in a resealable 30 g tin, air-flown monthly from Japan to retain freshness and showcase the cultivar’s natural sweetness and low bitterness.

What makes Okumidori different from other matcha cultivars?

Okumidori is a late-maturing cultivar prized for a velvety mouthfeel and a savory umami profile rather than aggressive astringency. Because it develops sugars and amino acids slowly, it produces a mellow, rounded cup whether whisked traditionally or used in recipes.

• Single-cultivar clarity — pure Okumidori leaf characteristics.
• Late maturation yields softer sweetness and lower bitterness.
• Bright jade color from careful shading and early-spring harvest.
• Stone-ground texture for smooth suspension in liquids.

How is this matcha grown and processed to preserve flavor?

The tea is shaded for about three weeks before the spring harvest, which concentrates chlorophyll and amino acids. Leaves are hand-picked, then slowly milled on granite stones in small lots to achieve a fine, airy powder without overheating or oxidizing the leaf.

• Shade-grown to boost umami and vibrant color.
• Hand-harvested spring leaves for optimal freshness.
• Traditional slow stone-grinding keeps oils and aroma intact.
• Air-flown monthly from Kagoshima to maximize freshness on arrival.

How should I prepare and store this ceremonial matcha for best results?

For a traditional usucha, sift 1–2 g into a bowl, add about 60–80 ml of water at roughly 75–80°C, and whisk until frothy. The resealable 30 g tin holds about 15 servings; keep it sealed in a cool, dry place and use within a few months after opening for the best flavor.

• Suggested dose: 1–2 g per serving (about 15 servings per tin).
• Water temp: 75–80°C for balanced flavor and foam.
• Versatile: also suitable for cold-brew, lattes, smoothies, and baking.
• Storage: reseal tin, keep cool and dry; avoid light and humidity.

What certifications and quality controls ensure authenticity?

This matcha carries USDA and JAS organic certifications, confirming organic practices both in the U.S. and Japan. The product is stone-ground, single-cultivar, and comes from a long-running family farm that manages small-batch processing to maintain consistent quality.

• USDA Organic and JAS Organic certified.
