005 JAS Okumidori elite matcha
Okumidori farm monovariety of matcha for making usucha and koicha, traditional shade-grown form - Honzu 40 days. Currently, this method is rarely used due to a lot of tedious work, so tea grown in this way has a limited amount and a unique taste. Hondzu requires a covering of several layers of thatch, usually rice and reed bamboo screens handmade.
This Okumidori is grown according to JAS standards, that is, completely organic, without the use of artificial fertilizers. Okumidori sprouts harden quite slowly compared to other varieties of Japanese tea, but it gives an exceptional yield and grows beautifully. - therefore, the matcha made from it received double shading and a deeper taste
