Perfect Matcha for Cafes

✨ Perfect Matcha for Cafes: The “Okumidori” Cultivar 🌱

When it comes to matcha used in cafés and beverages, some cultivars perform especially well. One standout is Okumidori.

Like the famous Yabukita, Okumidori offers a deep, vibrant green color and a strong, bold astringency. Thanks to this characteristic, it keeps its rich, authentic matcha flavor even after adding sugar, ice, or milk — making it a favorite among café professionals. ☕

Of course, in traditional Japanese tea ceremonies where matcha is whisked with just hot water, these robust and slightly bitter profiles (Yabukita and Okumidori) are often not the first choice.

However, in café settings where sweetness and creaminess from sugar and milk are added, these cultivars truly shine.

They deliver a satisfying depth and that signature matcha character customers love. 😊
