Okumidori Matcha - Single Cultivar Ceremonial Grade - Kirokuen Farm (30g Pouch)

Okumidori Matcha - Single Cultivar Ceremonial Grade - Kirokuen Farm (30g Pouch)

SGD 30.00

A ceremonial grade, single-origin matcha, from Kirokuen farm in Wakuza, Kyoto. The Okumidori cultivar is known for its deep dark green colour and delicate flavour profile.

We source this matcha from Kirokuen, where the Hori sisters Ui and Megumi Hori and their mother run and oversee tea growing and farming. A small-batch, women-run, mother-daughter business like ours!

About the Farm
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in an area where mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.

Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo.
