AORASHI | Gokasho Asahi x Samidori Matcha

20g jar

Regular price $45.00 $50.00 Sale

    AORASHI is a bi-cultivar Matcha made by blending Asahi and Samidori cultivars, crafted by an award-winning producer located in GokashoUji, Kyoto.

    Made from tea trees that have been shade-grown for ~40 days, using a thick black cloth that blocks out most of the sunlight (Kanreisha).

    Fully hand-picked and gently stone-milled into a soft silky powder, ideal for Usucha but also suitable for Koicha.

    We love Matcha from this producer for its unique and prominent savoury profile, which stands out from our Shirakawa and Ogura offerings despite being all from the Uji region.

    Expect a very rich, full-bodied Matcha with prominent oceanic notes (think of roasted nori) and deep Umami.

    Flavour profile: Full-bodied and savoury, with a long Umami finish.

    • Harvest & Growth: 1st harvest (spring 2023) / shade-grown for 40 days / hand-picked and stone-milled
    • Origin: Grown and processed in Gokasho, Uji, Kyoto.

      Storage: Seal package immediately after use and store in a cool dry place, away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odours.
