ASAHI BARISTA MATCHA 40G

Kagoshima, Japan

mild. vegetal. smooth. fresh grass

Stone-ground for baking, soft-serve, and the everyday matcha treat — balanced, gentle, generous.

Product details

In Japanese, Asahi (朝日) means morning sun — the first warm light that turns a day from possibility into action. It's the name we gave our most generous matcha: the one we bake with, the one we blend into ice cream, the one we reach for when matcha needs to be more than a drink or whenever we want a bold matcha.

From the same Kagoshima fields as camellia but harvested later in the season (2nd and 3rd leaves), Asahi captivates with its vivid green hue and rich, inviting aroma. stone-ground from the finest leaves, it delivers a balanced taste with smooth umami and a gentle vegetal finish. mild enough not to overpower a cake or a soft-serve, vibrant enough to make the green color pop. save the ceremonial for the bowl — let Asahi be your kitchen workhorse.

KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN

鹿児島県

Kagoshima sits at the southern tip of Kyushu, where volcanic soil and warm subtropical sun create some of japan's most vivid green tea. unlike the misty, mountainous fields of Kyoto, Kagoshima's tea grows in wider plains with longer sun exposure — producing leaves with a brighter color, a softer body, and a clean profile that works exceptionally well in milk. the region has quietly become japan's second-largest tea producer, and its matcha is the secret behind some of the best lattes in Tokyo and Seoul.
