Learn all the secrets of the Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

If you're looking for a smooth and delicious matcha tea, you might want to try the Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori. This fine tea is carefully produced by none other than Mr. Takada himself in the town of Uji, located in the Kyoto prefecture of Japan. It's worth noting that when it comes to matcha tea, the Uji region has long been renowned for producing some of the world's highest quality teas, earning it a reputation as the best matcha-producing region in Japan.

Taste

Discover the results of Nio Teas’ 4 step tea tasting method

In order to properly assess the Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori, we conducted a comprehensive evaluation of both its texture and flavor. Our assessment included a close examination of its dryness, sweetness, minerality, and acidity, as well as an evaluation of its thickness and richness, which is commonly referred to as mouthfeel. Given the unique qualities of matcha tea, we also made sure to pay close attention to the vegetal flavor profile, which is a defining characteristic of this type of tea.

Step 1 - Observing the Appearance

The color of this matcha from uji japan is a darker jade green color and its a smooth, fine powder.

Step 2 - Assessing the Aroma

The aroma coming off the powder of the matcha kyoto uji is mixed with the water is fresh and grassy, with a slight aroma of dark chocolate.

Step 3 - Tasting the Tea

The Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori starts off with a smooth, steamed vegetable note, which later evolves into a slight grassiness. The matcha then begins to drift into a drier direction and it leaves the palate with an invigorating astringency. On the finish, there is almost a note of bitter dark chocolate.

Step 4 - Evaluating the sensation on the palate

The Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori plays around more with these slightly drier and more grassy flavor profiles. It is still smooth and consistent, but the astringency leads to a more engaging drinking experience.

100% Organically grown and Ethically Sourced

Nio Teas Unique Organically grown sourcing process

  • Making sure that the biodiversity around the tea fields is diverse and healthy

How to prepare the tea

To prepare the Uji matcha, follow these basic steps for optimal results. While it's possible to simplify this process, we recommend following these steps for the best matcha experience.

  • Step 1

    Start by sifting 2 grams of matcha powder into your bowl to remove clumps that may have formed due to humidity.

  • Step 2

    Heat the water up to 70 degrees Celsius or 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 3

    Next, pour approximately 1 tablespoon of water into the bowl and mix the powder into a paste to ensure even distribution. Then, pour 100ml of water into the bowl

  • Step 4

    Gently scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure that the matcha is thoroughly combined with the water.

  • Step 5

    Finally, use your wrist to whisk the matcha up in rapid zigzag motions until a light green foam appears on top.

  • Step 6

    Enjoy your Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

Necessary teaware

If you're looking to experience the full richness and complexity of Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori, it's important to use the proper utensils to get the most out of your tea. Here are some essential accessories you'll need to prepare the perfect cup:

  • A Matcha Bowl: A traditional matcha bowl, or "chawan," is wide and shallow, with plenty of room to whisk the matcha powder and hot water into a frothy, creamy texture.
  • A Bamboo Whisk: The bamboo whisk, or "chasen," is a critical tool for achieving the desired consistency in your matcha. The delicate tines of the whisk create tiny bubbles that blend the matcha powder and water together, giving the tea its characteristic frothy texture.
  • A Chashaku: A bamboo scoop, or "chashaku," is used to measure out the perfect amount of matcha powder for each cup. It ensures that you use the correct amount of tea, so you can enjoy the full depth of flavor in each sip.
  • A Sifter: A small sieve, or "furui," is used to sift the matcha powder before whisking it with water. Sifting removes any lumps or clumps, creating a smooth and even texture.

Location of production and farmer

Information about the farm

We source this tea from Takada Masahiro, a farmer based in Uji, who runs his family business at Chanoka. The legacy of Chanoka dates back to 1900, when Masahiro's great grandfather established their first tea garden in Uji. Since then, their family has been passionately involved in cultivating and manufacturing some of the finest teas in Japan.

Sourced in Uji

Japan

This is a matcha from uji japan, the most famous region for Japanese green tea production. The specific green tea is cultivated on Mr. Chanoka's farm in Uji. Grown at an altitude of 400 meters, the matcha is shaded for 3 weeks before the harvest in order to develop a sweeter and more savory flavor.

Cultivar and tea plant variety

The Uji matcha is made from the Okumidori cultivar and based on customer feedback, this is consistently our most popular type of matcha at Nio Teas.

  • Okumidori

    Okumidori is a tea variety renowned for its ability to produce smooth and full-bodied teas. It is often blended with other teas to reduce any bitterness, but it can also be enjoyed on its own. Despite being more challenging to produce, Okumidori is highly valued for its contribution to teas such as the Uji matcha, which has a finish completely free of bitterness.

Love Nio Teas, learnt so much about tea from them and have been trying what my wallet can afford me! This time it was Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori. Perfectly fine Matcha, good colour, easily whisked with a good foam. Not a thick drink and quite dry and vegetal but easy to have with or without milk.

Customer photo review of Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

This is far grander a tea than most “on the market” matcha teas one can acquire at the local shops. I typically will drink a cooking grade matcha, but never again! I love that this tea is affordable and has an excellent balance of flavor (mildly pleasant bitterness and grassy notes) and allows for one to have a less jittery caffeine boost.

Customer video review of Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

This matcha from the renowned Uji region pleasantly surprised me. Despite its ceremonial grade, I wanted to venture into a daring exploration and decided to marry it with fresh oat milk. The result? A taste explosion that really exceeded all expectations! The encounter between the vibrant green of matcha, from the okumidori cultivar, and the creamy smoothness of the vegetable milk generated a unique taste experience. Every sip takes me back to my childhood days of eating Corn Flakes in the morning. And what about the chawan? After stirring this matcha, it exudes a fresh, enveloping fragrance, a seductive combination of herbaceous and milky notes that literally leaves you gasping, wanting to savour this timeless delight again and again.

Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

Ok so I really wanted to love this matcha because I bought so much of it at once. But it was very light/flowery and although the color is beautiful it wasn’t earthy enough for me and it didn’t have enough caffeine in it for my liking. Over all it is high quality so I gave it 4 stars

Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

I love the Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori, I love how smooth it taste especially when you get the foam on it just right. Would definitely order it again

Miguel G. 5/5 Verified

Uji Matcha Chanoka Okumidori

Chanoka Okumidori has a more intense bitterness to it. The grassyness is balanced with a nice yet slight sweetness. The umami note is on the fainter side. With it's ticker feeling/texture in the mouth and medium dryness Chanoka Okumidori gives one an overall round Matcha experience. Especially good for beginners, who still do not know what to look for in a Matcha. Not so much for experienced Matcha drinkers, as Nio can shine with more impressive ones.
