About This Tea
What does Okuju Matcha taste like?
This exquisite Okuju Matcha offers a luxurious experience with its exceptionally clean and supple mouthfeel. It reveals a soaring sweetness complemented by notes of creamy milk chocolate and rich cash. It leans nutty, sweet and umami.
How should I brew Okuju Matcha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Okuju Matcha come from?
Grown in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan from the Okumidori cultivar. This batch is from the 2025 harvest. The leaves got a light roast after picking.
How much does Okuju Matcha cost?
Starts at $45.00 from Kettl, or about $1.50/g. A 30g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $9.00 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
