Okuju Matcha is one of Kettl’s most distinctive matcha offerings, developed as the company’s first custom-crafted matcha in close collaboration with long-standing tea partners in Uji, Kyoto Prefecture. Made exclusively from Okumidori cultivar tencha, this matcha showcases a flavor profile that highlights the variety’s natural sweetness, depth, and refined character.

Kettl worked directly with producers to create a tea tailored to its own specifications, making Okuju Matcha a significant milestone in the company’s portfolio. The tea is carefully processed and lightly finished to emphasize a balance of rich aroma and smooth texture.

Its tasting profile features notes of milk chocolate, cashew butter, and fresh green vegetation, supported by a creamy mouthfeel and gentle sweetness. The result is a versatile matcha suitable for both traditional usucha preparation and contemporary applications such as matcha lattes, iced drinks, and sparkling tea beverages.

Sourced from Uji, one of Japan’s most renowned tea-growing regions, Okuju Matcha reflects the area’s long-standing reputation for producing exceptional matcha. Like the rest of Kettl’s premium tea range, it is packaged in Japan and distributed in small batches to preserve freshness and quality.

The tea embodies Kettl’s commitment to direct sourcing, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of distinctive Japanese tea experiences. Today, Okuju Matcha is regarded as one of the company’s flagship matcha products, combining traditional expertise with a modern approach to tea production.
