Okuunmo Matcha
Crafted exclusively from the Okumidori cultivar and stone-milled using traditional methods, Okuunmo represents the highest tier of our Mie matcha lineup. The seventeen days of shading in a misty mountain environment results in an exceptionally vivid color and concentrated umami and natural sweetness before a single leaf is harvested. The result is a rich, naturally sweet sip with no bitterness, and subtle nutty undertones that linger. Stone milling preserves a silkiness that machine-ground matcha rarely achieves. It is equally exceptional whisked traditionally or in a carefully prepared latte.

Mie
Mie Prefecture, home to Ise tea, has cultivated tea for more than a thousand years. At the foot of the Suzuka Mountains, cool inland air, mist, and marked seasons help slow leaf growth and shape teas with clarity and balance. Mie is especially known for kabusecha and tencha, but the region also produces sencha, hojicha, and genmaicha.
Our Mie offerings show how one place can express itself across styles. Shade-grown tencha becomes matcha or, when its stems are roasted, a light and aromatic hojicha. Sencha blended with roasted rice becomes genmaicha, bringing together fresh green character and warm toasted grain. Each style keeps a clear sense of the leaf beneath the process.
