FKRO Organic Okumidori Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder — 30g Pouch, Stone-Ground & USDA/JAS Organic

FKRO Organic Okumidori Ceremonial Grade Matcha is a single-cultivar, stone-ground Japanese green tea powder from a family farm in Kagoshima, delivered in a 30g resealable pouch for fresh, versatile use.

Harvested on a multi-generation family farm in the mountain highlands of Kagoshima and cultivated organically since 1954, this matcha comes from the late-maturing Okumidori cultivar. Leaves are shaded for about three weeks before hand-picking, then slowly stone-ground in small batches to preserve aroma, color and texture. Each monthly air-flown batch reaches you as a vivid jade-green powder certified organic by both the USDA and JAS, with no fillers or additives.

How does this matcha differ from common supermarket powders?

The difference is in cultivar, harvest method and milling. FKRO uses a single Okumidori cultivar, shade-grown and hand-picked at first spring harvest, then stone-milled in small batches to retain freshness and a fine mouthfeel.

• Single-cultivar Okumidori for distinct umami and smoothness
• Shade-grown ~3 weeks before harvest to increase chlorophyll and amino acids
• Stone-ground slowly to reduce heat and preserve volatile aromatics
• USDA and JAS organic certified, no additives or sugar

What flavor and texture can I expect when I whisk or brew it?

Expect a mellow, savory umami profile with soft natural sweetness and low bitterness. The powder dissolves to a creamy texture when whisked traditionally, and it adapts well to cold brews, lattes and baking without turning chalky.

• Velvety, full-bodied mouthfeel from Okumidori leaves
• Fresh grassy aroma with subtle sweetness and savory notes
• Smooth in hot usucha, stable in iced drinks and blended recipes
• Fine particle size from stone milling for even whisking

How should I prepare, store and measure this 30g pouch?

Use about 1–2 grams per serving: sift, add hot water, and whisk for traditional usucha. For lattes or smoothies, increase powder to taste. Reseal the tin and keep it cool, dry and away from light to maintain color and aroma.

• Typical serving: 1–2 g (about 1/2–1 tsp) per cup for usucha
• Whisk with ~70–80°C water for best texture; cold-whisk for iced drinks
• Store resealed in a cool, dry place; avoid humidity and direct sunlight
• 30 g provides roughly 15 standard servings depending on measure

Why choose stone-ground, small-batch matcha from a family farm?

Stone grinding and small-batch production minimize heat and oxidation, preserving the powder’s bright color, fragrance and smooth mouthfeel. A family farm with decades of organic cultivation emphasizes consistent quality, traceability and traditional methods.

• Stone mills produce finer, cooler-ground powder than rapid industrial milling
• Small batches help maintain uniform color and aroma in each shipment
• Direct-from-farm sourcing improves traceability and freshness
• Certified organic practices documented since 1954 on the farm

Who is this for? FKRO Organic Okumidori Ceremonial Grade Matcha suits home tea enthusiasts, baristas, and cooks who want a true single-cultivar Japanese matcha with a smooth umami character. Choose this 30g resealable pouch if you value a vivid, fine-textured powder for traditional whisked tea, chilled beverages, lattes or culinary applications—especially if organic certification, stone-ground milling and direct farm sourcing matter to you.
