Uji Matcha ASAGAO
Ceremonial Grade Uji Matcha from Kyoto, Japan
First Harvest Tea
In Japan, tea made from the first picked buds of the year are called “shincha.” Tea leaves picked from late April to early May are soft, have a refreshing fragrance, and contain a lot of theanine, giving them a rich flavor.
From Uji, Kyoto – The Home of Matcha
Uji, Kyoto is one of the most respected tea-growing regions in Japan. Known for its ideal climate and centuries-old tea tradition, Uji matcha represents the highest quality of Japanese tea.
Superior Tea Varieties
This matcha is a careful blend of two premium tea cultivars: Okumidori and Yabukita.
- Okumidori: Deep green, smooth, sweet, and low in bitterness.
- Yabukita: Well-balanced with sweetness, umami, and gentle bitterness.
Together, they produce a richly nuanced, full-bodied matcha experience.
100% Pure Matcha Powder
Our matcha contains no additives, sugar, or artificial colorings. Just pure, traditionally crafted Japanese matcha—nothing more, nothing less.
For Tea Ceremony
Ceremonial grade matcha like Asagao is known for its rich umami, low bitterness, and excellent froth retention. It’s perfect for chanoyu, the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
Enjoy in Everyday Life
Although born from formal tradition, Asagao matcha can also be enjoyed casually. Whether hot or iced, its smooth, elegant flavor enhances any moment of your day.
Iced Matcha: Simply mix with cold water and ice for a refreshing and smooth summer drink.
Health Benefits of Matcha
Matcha is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and the amino acid theanine. Since it’s consumed in powder form, you receive all its nutrients directly—unlike steeped tea.

The color of the tea leaves when soaked in hot water at time of inspection determines the color when crushed. As a key point of matcha making, the color of the tea leaves is essential.
