Okumidori is a type of tea that was first bred in Japan in 1974. It was developed by combining different tea genotypes, including Yabukita, Shizu-Inzatsu 131, Choshun and Sochi. The result of this crossing was a variety with light green leaves and a bright rich aroma.

The word "Okumidori" is composed of two Japanese words: "oku" means "enough" or "satisfactory" and "midori" means "green", so it literally translates as "pretty green". This name was chosen because the leaves of this tea have a rich green color.

The Okumidori variety is one of the most popular varieties of tea in Japan, and it is also widely known outside of Japan. It is grown in various regions of Japan, in particular, in Shizuoka province, which is famous for its tea plantations.

Okumidori tea is usually grown in the mountains at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level. This type of tea has an exquisite aroma with subtle notes of vegetables and fruits, as well as a slight bitterness, making it one of the most popular types of tea in Japan.

Ingredients: 100% green tea. The base is a blend of one Okumidori cultivation, spring and autumn harvesting season specially designed to be combined with milk drinks, without losing the pleasant color and texture of fresh tea
