FKRO Pinnacle Okumidori Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder — 30g Tin, USDA Organic 1st Harvest, Stone-Milled

FKRO Pinnacle Okumidori Ceremonial Reserve Matcha is a single-farm, first-harvest Japanese ceremonial-grade green tea powder delivered fresh in a resealable 30g tin.

Harvested in Ujitawara, Uji, Kyoto, this matcha is the Okumidori cultivar grown under shade, stone-ground in small batches, and certified organic by both USDA and JAS. Each tin contains pure, unsweetened matcha from one family farm and is intended for traditional whisked tea, creamy lattes, or chilled preparations. The product emphasizes freshness by shipping monthly from Japan and suggests refrigeration after opening to preserve aroma and color.

What makes this Okumidori matcha different from other ceremonial powders?

This matcha is single-origin and single-cultivar: one family farm in Ujitawara produces the entire batch, and only first-harvest leaves are used. Stone milling and small-batch processing maintain the bright jade color and fine texture. The combination of late-maturing Okumidori leaves and careful handling produces a naturally sweet, umami-forward profile without harsh bitterness.

• Single-farm, single-cultivar sourcing from Uji, Kyoto for traceability.
• First-harvest leaves only, hand-picked for delicate flavor.
• Stone-milled in small batches for fine, even powder and vivid color.
• Okumidori cultivar produces smooth umami and natural sweetness.

How should I prepare FKRO Pinnacle for best flavor?

For a classic usucha (thin tea), whisk 1–2 g of matcha with about 70 ml (2.4 oz) of water at approximately 80°C (175°F) until frothy. For koicha (thick tea), use more powder and less water for a concentrated, velvety cup. This matcha also blends cleanly into warmed milk or plant milk for a latte and dissolves well when shaken with ice for an iced matcha.

• Usucha: 1–2 g matcha + 70 ml water at 80°C, whisk to foam.
• Koicha: increase powder, reduce water, whisk slowly for a dense texture.
• Lattes: froth with heated milk or plant-based milk for creamy texture.
• Iced matcha: dissolve with a little warm water, then pour over ice.

How long will freshness last and how should I store the tin?

The 30g resealable tin contains roughly 15 servings and keeps best when refrigerated after opening to slow oxidation and preserve aroma. The best flavor comes from first-harvest leaves and recent milling, so monthly freshness dispatches help ensure peak quality. Use within the recommended period on the package for ideal color and taste.

• 30g tin yields about 15 typical servings (1–2 g each).
• Reseal tightly and refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness.
• Consume within the package's suggested best-by timeframe for optimal aroma.
