Matcha Asahi
Elegant and ethereal with deep umami and fresh energy
About this tea
The Asahi cultivar was selected from a native variety of tea in Uji by Jinnojo Hirano in 1954. The aroma of early harvested Asahi varieties is very elegant and sought after. It is often ranked among the top varieties in the Uji tea auction and is one of the best cultivars for matcha in terms of its bright color, fragrance, and umami strength. Year after year, the Asahi cultivar has the highest richness score of all Uji matcha and is known for its supreme levels of amino acids when compared to other cultivars grown for Matcha production. This 4 kilogram micro-lot of pure strain Asahi was grown by the award-winning Uji based tea farmer, Sakata-San. It has a freshness that’s lively and airy on the palate, while its aftertaste and resonance is very deep and richly umami.
