Tsujiki Authentic Asahi 2024 – Competition-Grade Matcha

(競技用抹茶 / Kyōgiyō Matcha)

Authentic Asahi 2024 is a competition-grade matcha, crafted from the prestigious and rare Asahi cultivar — one of Japan’s highest-regarded tea varieties.
This is a single-cultivar, non-blended matcha, specially produced for professional tea preparation competitions in Japan.

The powder is ultra-fine, with a deep jade-green hue and a beautifully smooth texture.
The flavor profile is exceptionally balanced: notes of steamed grass, white beans, and dried seaweed, finishing with a light, nutty creaminess reminiscent of plant-based milk. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, with a lingering, clean sweetness — and remarkably, no bitterness or astringency, even when prepared as koicha.

This matcha is designed for advanced matcha practitioners — not just for tasting, but for those who appreciate the precision, depth, and technical clarity that true ceremonial matcha can express.
