About this tea

Asatsuyu is a cultivar selected from native Uji tea varieties. It was officially registered in 1953 after being developed as a seedling selection from exquisite Uji species at the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries’ Tea Research Station located in Kanaya, Shizuoka Prefecture. The name “Asatsuyu," which translates to "morning dew," reflects its rich, sweet flavor that resembles gyokuro and its attractive green color. The Asatsuyu cultivar is distinguished by its unique and elegant aroma that is naturally milky and slightly flowery. Its taste is both sweet, umami and refreshing. Asatsuyu showcases a beautiful emerald hue and creates matcha that is deeply tasty with rich green foam.
