Description
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.

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.
