What Is Aoarashi Matcha?

Aoarashi Matcha is a ceremonial-grade green tea powder crafted from shade-grown tencha leaves. These leaves are hand-picked, steamed, dried, and slowly stone-milled into a fine, vibrant powder. The result is a bright green tea with a fresh, grassy aroma and a soft, mellow flavour that balances sweetness and umami beautifully. It’s ideal for both traditional whisked tea (usucha) and modern matcha creations like lattes or desserts.

Why Choose Aoarashi Matcha by Marukyu Koyamaen?
