Asahi Matcha - Yamazakiさん Gokasho Uji

Sourced from the renowned Yamazaki farm in Gokasho, Uji—Kyoto's most celebrated matcha region—this ceremonial-grade powder delivers a refined balance of brightness and complexity. The Asahi cultivar reveals distinctive vegetable-forward notes reminiscent of fresh kohlrabi and raw shiitake, with a clean raw almond undertone that adds subtle depth. A crisp, juicy character runs through the cup alongside a brisk tannic finish, creating an uplifting yet grounded experience. This is matcha crafted by a multi-award-winning producer recognized at the highest levels of Japanese tea excellence.
