OKUMIDORI was awarded a Gold Medal at the Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025.
The competition, overseen by a “Paris Japanese Tea Ambassador” certified by the Japan Tea Instructor Association, is rigorously judged by a diverse panel that includes leading French chefs and tea industry buyers. Entries are evaluated based on three criteria: taste, aroma, and color.
We also use the same matcha that was awarded two stars at the Great Taste Awards 2023.
Known as the “Oscars of food,” the Great Taste Awards is an international gourmet competition originating in the UK that recognizes outstanding taste and quality.
Our partner store, Matchado, in the UK entered our matcha, which was rigorously judged by over 500 experts.
Please note that the current harvest may differ from the award-winning batch, as we have switched to this year’s new tea leaves.
Okumidori tea leaves from Yame are harvested only once a year in spring, and we select only the finest leaves for production.
It has a refined sweetness, a light aftertaste, and little bitterness.
This flavorful matcha from Yame can be enjoyed as both thick tea (koicha) and light tea (usucha), and is also ideal for making bread and sweets.
This premium matcha is characterized by its elegant, mellow sweetness and rich flavor.
