Okita Matcha
$35.00
Balanced. Semi-sweet. Creamy. Smooth.
Okita in Japanese means 'to wake up', and that's how we feel about this matcha. It's the cup you look forward to first thing in the morning, or for an afternoon pick-me-up, or a late night boost of focused energy.
Made from a custom blend of select cultivars from a 5th-generation, world-winning tea master, Okita is flavorful, rich, and well-balanced, with a brilliant bold shade of green. This decadent matcha is smooth throughout, with an incredible fragrance, low astringency, and a delicate umami finish. We recommend Okita to bring freshness and brightness to your everyday matcha.
