#0677.K6 Tsujiki: Limited Edition Competition Grade Heritage Uji Matcha, Award-Winning Asahi Single Cultivar, Tsuji Kiyoharu (20g) 辻喜の抹茶あさひ

Sourced from Tsujiki in Uji, Kyoto, this ceremonial-grade matcha represents a rare micro-lot curated by fifth-generation farmer Kiyoharu Tsuji from his award-winning Asahi cultivar tencha. Each year, Tsuji-san hand-selects only the finest young leaves from his competition-quality harvest, processing them through traditional methods before stone mill grinding to create this exceptionally limited edition powder. The 2024 batch delivers a delicate, intensely sweet character with subtle white wine-like notes, offering a refined departure from the bold umami profile typical of high-grade matcha. This matcha excels as a ceremonial-grade tea, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and soil science that have earned Tsuji's tencha multiple national and regional competition accolades.
