02 Okumidori is the second drop of the exclusive Single Origin series: a matcha produced at a tea farm located at the foot of Mount Fuji, in Shizuoka Prefecture (Japan).
Made from the Okumidori cultivar, the leaves are slowly stone-ground using traditional mills until an ultra-fine powder is obtained. The result is a matcha with a smooth, delicately sweet profile, balanced umami, and a creamy texture.
Origin
Origin
The farm was founded by two childhood friends who decided to revive long-abandoned family tea fields and bring them back to life. Based in the city of Fuji, in Shizuoka Prefecture, the project carries the tea tradition forward through a contemporary lens.

How to prepare a perfect matcha latte
1. Sift about 2g of matcha into a chawan (2g is roughly two well-filled bamboo teaspoons).
2. Add a small amount of hot water (maximum 80°C, not boiling) and stir with the bamboo whisk to create a dense, smooth, green paste.
3. Add the rest of the hot water, about 30ml, and whisk energetically in a zigzag motion for about 20 seconds.
4. Slow down the whisking speed, and do it gently over the surface to remove large bubbles and create a smooth, creamy green layer.
5. Finally, add your favorite milk to the dissolved matcha and enjoy ;)
