The Yamaguchi family has earned a strong reputation for producing exceptional single cultivar Sencha. In recent years, they have applied the same meticulous approach to Matcha, dedicating a large portion of their tea fields to its production. By installing their own traditional stone mills, they maintain complete control over the delicate milling process, ensuring maximum freshness while focusing on single-cultivar Matcha with distinctive and expressive flavour profiles.

Asanoka is a rare and highly regarded cultivar, prized for its naturally high amino acid content, refined sweetness, and elegant balance of rich umami and low astringency. This Matcha is an outstanding expression of the cultivar, offering vibrant, bright flavours, a smooth and creamy texture, and a clean, lingering finish.

The tencha is stone-milled in-house by the Yamaguchi family, preserving its freshness and showcasing the cultivar's remarkable clarity and character.
