“Asahi” is a rare cultivar selected from native tea plants of Uji, combining remarkable delicacy with a vivid, untamed character.Its cultivation demands exceptional care and skill, so the annual harvest is extremely small.In the cup, a soy-milk-like creaminess gently layers with a hint of citrus, unfolding into a pure, nature-derived aftertaste that lingers with clarity.A bowl that allows you to experience the individuality of this cultivar in its most honest form.
