Marukyu Koyamaen - Aoarashi

Brand: Marukyu Koyamaen
Origin: Uji, Kyoto

Bright and invigorating, with a crisp, refreshing aroma reminiscent of a fresh early-summer breeze moving through lush green fields. On the palate it opens with a natural sweetness and a gentle floral quality — hints of jasmine and fresh spring greens — followed by a light, pleasant astringency that keeps the cup lively. Clean and well-rounded, with no off-notes and a refreshing, light finish.

Its name, Aoarashi (青嵐), meaning "green storm," refers to the strong, fragrant wind that sweeps through verdant landscapes in early summer.

Recommended Use: The entry point into Marukyu Koyamaen's tea ceremony matcha range, and a significant step above any culinary grade. Best enjoyed as usucha (thin tea), lattes, and also works beautifully in light desserts, creams, and low-temperature baking.
