Matcha Powder Aya no Mori from Kanbayashi Shunsho 40g

Aya no Mori (Ceremonial Matcha)

Named after an ancient tea garden predating the Uji Shichimeien, which was established by the Muromachi Shogunate, Aya no Mori is a delightful matcha ideal for everyday drinking as usucha (thin tea).

This matcha has a rich, full-bodied flavour, blending creamy, slightly nutty, and lightly toasted notes. Its aftertaste is impressively long-lasting and satisfying. Compared to Ryo no Kage, it offers a more rounded and intense flavour profile. For the best experience, use water at 85°C (185°F), as lower temperatures may bring out a slight bitterness.

This product is available in either a can or a box packaging. The packaging type will be selected at random and cannot be chosen at the time of purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
