Marukyu Koyamaen Aoarashi Ceremonial Matcha

Aoarashi is where most people fall in love with Marukyu Koyamaen. It's the entry point into their ceremonial range and it's earned that position. Calm, bold, and well-rounded with no rough edges, it's the kind of matcha you can make every single day without it ever feeling like a compromise.

It holds its flavour in milk better than most matchas at this price point. In an iced latte it stays vivid. In usucha it's clean and satisfying. For baking it brings real matcha depth without overpowering everything else.

If you're new to ceremonial matcha, start here. If you've been drinking it for years, you'll still reach for it.

Origin & Production
Producer: Marukyu Koyamaen, Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Founded in 1704, over 300 years of matcha expertise. Tea plants are shaded before harvest to raise chlorophyll levels, producing the vivid colour and smooth umami the brand is known for. First spring growth, hand-picked and stone-ground to a fine powder to protect aroma and flavour.

The name
Aoarashi means "green storm" in Japanese, named after the strong early summer wind that moves through fresh verdant greenery. It evokes exactly what the tea delivers: something invigorating, clean, and alive.

Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place away from heat, light and humidity. Seal tightly after each use. Best consumed within one month of opening.

Ingredients: 100% Japanese green tea (Camellia sinensis)
