Asahi from Kyoto
日本産
Single Cultivar:
Asahi
Single Origin:
Wazuka, Kyoto
Notes:
Chestnut • Asparagus • Melted Butter
Preparations:

Richness and delicacy do not often coexist. This matcha achieves both, revealing a character that is deeply elegant and remarkably composed. Equally rewarding as usucha or koicha, it allows its refined character to be appreciated across both preparations.

Upon opening, a pleasant green aroma reminiscent of fresh asparagus is accompanied by the gentle sweetness of chestnut. Once whisked, the aroma becomes rounder and softer, revealing delicate chestnut notes that lend warmth to the tea. On the palate, its remarkably smooth mouthfeel is quietly rich, coating your mouth with a silky texture almost like melted butter.

This matcha comes from Wazuka, Kyoto, one of the principal growing regions for Uji tea. Asahi is a cultivar selected from the native Uji tea population and has long been regarded as one of the finest cultivars for tencha production, making it a trusted choice for many competition-grade teas.

"Asahi from Kyoto"

Asahi quickly became one of those matchas I looked forward to drinking. It’s incredibly smooth with a rich, buttery character that feels both comforting and elegant. The chestnut sweetness comes through beautifully, and every bowl felt balanced from start to finish. I finished my first cup already thinking about when I wanted the next one.

Asahi is seriously that good. The aroma? Unreal. It is very inviting and brings together rich notes of chestnut, asparagus, and melted butter in one beautifully complex cup.

Asahi is a quiet kind of captivating. The first thing I noticed was its unmistakably vegetal character, softened by a gentle chestnut warmth. Then came that silky, almost melted-butter texture—rich, but never heavy. What stayed with me most, though, was the pleasant bitterness at the finish. It gives the matcha just enough edge to keep all that creaminess from becoming too comfortable. I usually find myself drawn to nutty, umami-rich matchas, so Asahi felt familiar in some ways, yet completely distinct in others. Layered, quietly complex, and incredibly composed. The kind of matcha that makes you pause between sips because there’s always another little detail to notice.

I’m obsessed with the new look and colors of this release!!! And honestly, any matcha coming out of Kyoto already has my attention, but Asahi is on another level. 😮‍💨🍵 The flavor notes?? chestnut + asparagus + melted butter??? HELLO??? Say less, baby. The savory, nutty, buttery depth of this matcha is just SO good and makes every sip feel rich, complex, and seriously special. This is the kind of matcha that makes you pause mid-sip like… wait, what did y’all put in here??? 😭🫶🏻 Yeah. This is the real deal.
