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

FKRO Organic Okumidori Ceremonial Matcha is a vivid, single-cultivar Japanese green tea powder—shade-grown, stone-ground, and harvested from a family farm for authentic umami and smooth flavor.

Harvested in the mountain highlands of Kagoshima by a multigenerational family farm, this matcha is made from the Okumidori cultivar cultivated organically since 1954. Leaves are shaded before a careful spring harvest, then stone-milled in small batches to preserve color, aroma and texture. The finished powder arrives air-flown monthly to retain freshness and is packaged in a 30 g resealable tin, offering about 15 traditional servings.

What makes Okumidori ceremonial matcha different from other grades?

Okumidori is a late-maturing cultivar prized for its round, velvety mouthfeel and restrained bitterness. Because these leaves are shaded for roughly three weeks and ground on traditional stone mills, the powder keeps a bright jade hue, a savory umami backbone, and a gentle natural sweetness—traits often associated with higher ceremonial grades.

• Single-cultivar Okumidori for consistent flavor profile
• Shade-grown to increase amino acids and umami
• Small-batch stone grinding to maintain texture and aroma
• Hand-picked spring harvest focused on young, tender leaves

How should I prepare this matcha for traditional tea and modern recipes?

For classic usucha (thin tea), sift 1–2 g of powder into a bowl and whisk with 60–80 ml of hot water (about 70–80°C) until frothy. The same powder adapts well to iced matcha, lattes, smoothies, and baking—use slightly more powder in blended drinks to maintain flavor clarity.

• Traditional usucha: 1–2 g powder, 60–80 ml hot water, whisk till froth
• Iced matcha: dissolve in a little warm water, add ice and cold water or milk
• Lattes/smoothies: 2–4 g for stronger flavor depending on milk and sweetener
• Baking: use measured grams for predictable color and taste

How is freshness preserved from farm to pouch?

Leaves are processed at the family farm and stone-ground in limited quantities to avoid overheating and oxidation. Finished matcha is flown monthly to maintain the vibrant green color and delicate aromatics, then sealed into a 30 g airtight tin that protects against light and humidity.

• Stone grinding limits heat exposure to preserve nutrients and color
• Air-flown monthly for reduced storage time before arrival
• Resealable tin helps maintain aroma and prevents moisture
• Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate after opening
