Ocha no Kanbayashi - Asahi no Shiro

Color: Fresh, bright green with a soft glow; the powder is fine and airy.
Aroma & Flavor: Steamed grass, steamed beans, with hints of roasted rice and young tea leaves after rain. The finish feels rounded, smooth, and gentle — never sharp.
Umami: Clear and consistent — not overly rich, but with a solid foundation.
Sweetness: Mild and slightly nutty in the aftertaste — not sharp, but pleasant.
Bitterness/Astringency: Light on the tip of the tongue when brewed strong, but fades quickly.
Texture: Nicely fine; dissolves easily with minimal sifting, producing even, smooth foam.

✅ Best suited for: Usucha, daily cold-whisking, and those moving beyond entry-level matcha.
