Taste, aroma, and texture

The tasting experience centers on a creamy, rounded mouthfeel and a sensual sweetness that hints at marshmallow and candy. The Okumidori cultivar is celebrated for its gentle umami and velvety finish, making it ideal for traditional whisking as hot tea, but also well-suited to cold brews and latte preparations. In the cup, expect a vibrant emerald liquor with a smooth, slightly grassy fragrance that grows sweeter as it warms. For ritual use, many drinkers pair it with gentle water temperatures and a steady whisk until a fine foam crowns the surface.

Ways to enjoy
