Selected from Uji's heirloom native strain, "Asahi" harmoniously blends rustic wildness with delicate finesse, its dual character deepening through devoted care. Cultivated in the finest plots where soil, water, sunlight, and temperature perfectly align, with patient soil nurturing, shading, and attuned tending to each field's unique climate. Its scant harvest, handcrafted from cultivation to finish, yields sweetness and umami in quiet harmony with subtle astringency and bitterness, evoking the very environment in profound aftertaste and enveloping balance. The pinnacle of matcha, where masterful technique resonates with nature.
