[View brand profile](https://best-matcha.com/shop/matcha-union) [Open official website](https://matchaunion.com/?sca_ref=11983862.FWg0cGBuFS) ## First-harvest Okumidori for traditional tea and matcha lattes Organic Ceremonial Grade Okumidori Matcha is a first-flush tea from Uji, Kyoto, made for drinking with water or using as the base of a matcha latte. It combines a smooth, mellow profile with rounded sweetness, rich umami, and no bitterness. Each package contains 30 g of matcha. ### What does this Okumidori matcha taste like? This matcha has a naturally sweet character with a delicate, rounded [finish](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/finish). Its mellow taste and rich umami distinguish it from matcha with a more bitter profile. The source specifies zero bitterness, which makes the flavor profile suitable for traditional tea preparation as well as milk-based matcha drinks. Okumidori is the named cultivar used for this product. Rather than blending multiple stated cultivars, the product is identified specifically with first-harvest Okumidori leaves. Buyers comparing matcha by cultivar, harvest, and taste can use those details alongside the smooth and naturally sweet profile. ### Where is this ceremonial grade matcha grown and processed? The tea comes from Uji in Kyoto, Japan, a historic and celebrated tea region. Its leaves are shade-grown and gathered during the first flush, meaning the first harvest of the growing season. The matcha is then stone-ground within weeks of harvest. - **Origin:** Uji, Kyoto, Japan - **Cultivar:** Okumidori - **Harvest:** First flush - **Growing method:** Shade-grown - **Processing:** Stone-ground within weeks of harvest - **Net weight:** 30 g The product is organic and sold as ceremonial grade. These details make it possible to compare the matcha by named origin, cultivar, harvest period, growing method, and grinding process rather than relying on grade language alone. ### Is it better for traditional tea or a matcha latte? This matcha is intended for both. Whisk it with water for traditional tea, where its natural sweetness, umami, and lack of bitterness remain central to the cup. It can also serve as the matcha base for a latte. The mellow, rounded profile supports either use without limiting the product to one preparation style. Choose this Uji matcha when first-flush Okumidori, organic production, shade growing, stone grinding, and a sweet, umami-rich profile are the main buying criteria. The 30 g format provides a clearly specified quantity for comparing it with other ceremonial grade matcha products. Grade ### [Ceremonial](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/ceremonial-grade-matcha) Matcha Union offers you a **Ceremonial matcha powder**.Ceremonial is a commercial matcha grade made from hand-picked young tea leaves, then stone-ground for its taste and vibrant color.
