This single origin Ogura no Mukashi matcha was made from the youngest buds which were hand-picked. This matcha has a particularly strong umami flavor with a bold body. It is suitable both for thick matcha(koi-cha) or thin matcha(usu-cha), offering strong umami with minimal off-flavors.

This type of tea is harvested from a shaded tea farm (usually open-air, but covered with reed screens and shade cloth from mid-April until harvest). Covering the tea plants increases chlorophyll in the leaves, making them richly green, thin, and soft. This enhances the umami while minimizing bitterness and astringency. After the new buds are picked, they are steamed and then dried at a high temperature in a tencha (碾茶) furnace. The dried tencha is ground into matcha using a stone mill.
