Cultivar

Okumidori is known for its depth and rounded sweetness.
Longer shading increases chlorophyll and L-theanine content, contributing to colour and smoothness.

Processing

Leaves are steamed immediately after harvest, dried, refined into tencha, and slowly stone-milled.

Only small quantities are ground at a time to preserve aroma and colour.
