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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Okumidori ceremonial matcha different from other grades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOkumidori is a late-maturing cultivar prized for its round, velvety mouthfeel and restrained bitterness.
