Onze Okumidori is een A-Grade matcha van één cultivar, schaduwgeteeld en van de eerste oogst, gemaakt voor een diepe, gelaagde kop.
Uit Wazuka in Kyoto, de regio ten zuiden van de stad die de ceremoniële standaard bepaalde, worden de blaadjes 20 dagen lang beschaduwd vóór de eerste voorjaarsuitloop, de jongste en zoetste van het seizoen. De schaduw verdiept de kleur en bouwt de umami op, en Wazuka's lange traditie van zorgvuldige teelt laat één cultivar zo helder spreken.
Op zichzelf schenkt Okumidori jadegroen uit en ontvouwt zich in lagen, doperwt, rijpe mango en een vleugje kokos, gedragen door een lange, umami-gedreven afdronk.
Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity. Once opened, keep tightly sealed and consume within 2–3 months for optimal freshness and flavor.

FAQ
How long does delivery take?
Portugal: 3-5 business days. EU: 5-8 business days. All orders are shipped from Lisbon.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Orders to Portugal ship free from 40EUR. EU orders also ship free from 40EUR.
Do you ship outside the EU?
Not at the moment. We currently ship to Portugal and select EU countries.
Where does your matcha come from?
All matcha is sourced from Japan, from Yame (Fukuoka) and Wazuka (Kyoto), two of the country's most respected tea-growing regions.
What's the difference between the matcha options?
The Ceremonial Matcha is a classic A-grade blend from Yame, smooth, balanced, and ideal for daily preparation. The Samidori and Okumidori are single-cultivar matchas for those who want to explore the distinct character of each tea plant.
Is the matcha ceremonial or culinary grade?
All matcha is ceremonial grade, shade-grown and first harvest. It's meant to be enjoyed on its own with water, not in lattes or baking.
How should matcha be stored?
Keep it in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Once opened, consume within 4-6 weeks for best flavour. Refrigeration is optional but recommended in summer.
Is special equipment needed to prepare matcha?
A chasen (bamboo whisk) and a bowl are enough to get started. Sifting the powder first gives a smoother result. The Sanjo Chazutsu makes this easy.
What is the recommended ratio?
Start with 2g of matcha (about 2 chashaku scoops) and 70ml of water at 70C. Whisk in a W motion until frothy.
Can an order be changed or cancelled?
We process orders quickly. To request a change, contact us as soon as possible at support@slowsocialclub.com and we'll do our best to help.
