Crafted for Ceremonial Use

Aoarashi features a refined balance of subtle bitterness, sweet umami, and lingering aroma. The silky texture and emerald-green hue make every sip an elegant, meditative experience. (Matcha VS. Green Tea)

Highly Versatile—Not Just for Tea

Unlike many ceremonial matcha products, Matcha Aoarashi is highly versatile. Whether you’re whisking it in a chawan (matcha bowl) or blending it into lattes, smoothies, or desserts, its bright color and bold flavor bring matcha creations to life. Think matcha tiramisu, cookies, ice cream—or even savory recipes with a twist of umami.

Sustainable and Artisanal

Marukyu Koyamaen Matcha Aoarashi is grown using time-honored, sustainable farming techniques. Tea bushes are shaded with traditional reed canopies to enhance chlorophyll and L-theanine, leading to a vibrant color and gentle taste. After harvesting, the leaves are steamed, dried, and slowly stone-ground into an ultra-fine powder—preserving maximum nutrients and flavor.

How to Make Matcha Aoarashi (Usucha Style)

 

Sift 1–2 teaspoons of Aoarashi into a preheated bowl.
Add hot water (60–70ml at 75–85°C).
Whisk briskly in an “M” or “W” motion using a bamboo chasen until frothy.
Enjoy immediately, savoring the aroma and velvety mouthfeel.
Bonus Tip: For a matcha latte, mix the whisked matcha with steamed milk of your choice for a creamy and energizing treat.
