Asahi Matcha - Sakataさん Hamadai Uji

Sourced from Hamadai in the renowned Uji region of Kyoto, this premium matcha comes from Sakata, a fifth-generation farmer and multiple National Tea Competition winner. The Asahi cultivar delivers a forward and sharply vibrant character with distinctive notes of fresh asparagus and broth, complemented by a brisk tannic finish that speaks to its quality and depth. Its striking lime-green hue reflects the care taken in cultivation and processing, making it an excellent choice for traditional ceremonial preparation or as a foundation for culinary applications where bold, complex flavor is desired.
