About this Product
Origin: Uji-Shirakawa, Kyoto, Japan
Cultivar: Asahi
Elevation: 250m
Harvest: May 7, 2020
Rishi is lucky enough to be one of the few to whom Tsuji San sells his matcha, which has been analyzed to have the highest amino acids scores and L-theanine content of any matcha in Japan and the world. Each cultivar gives us specific tasting notes. In Tsuji San's Matcha Asahi, we experience a velvety mouthfeel with hints of macadamia nut and kombu.
Tea bushes for premium matcha are harvested once per year. The farming technique is unique as it utilizes shading, and this focuses the plant's energy on the top, tender leaves.
The intense shading forces the bushes to make their leaves fatter and greener, with increased chlorophyll to seek out the sun. In turn, this farming practice greatly enhances the nootropic and neuro-stimulating substances.

Fabulous color and creamy smooth
I have been consuming Suji Sans matcha powders for some time. I absolutely love his Asahi. It is a regular
...
part of my morning ritual and sets the tone for a quiet, meditative, centered and reflective start. The beautiful, bright jade green color with a rich foam is the opening eye-appeal. This is followed by a light, creamy smoothness and wonderfully rich, umami. Never a disappointment. Suji san delivers top quality in each packet.

As a newbie to Matcha, I purchased this tea out of curiosity, not knowing what to expect. However, in

my heart of hearts I thought it would taste like grass. What a delightful surprise! I agree that it is velvety, but can't exactly name the beautiful taste. Even though it is expensive, you owe it to yourself to have this on hand when you need a healthy pick-me-up.

I'm a huge fan of Rishi; everything they make is top quality. This matcha has an unusual flavor that

isn't my favorite. It's kind of earthy or something; difficult to describe. I prefer the Teahouse, which is more your traditional super green color and flavor. Others may really like this one.
