Matcha Aoi no Ue - Seiseido
Matcha Aoi no Ue 葵の上 by Seiseido is a vibrant Matcha with a bright green color and very fresh. Asamiya, Shiga, an area with picturesque plantations surrounded by small mountain villages, is considered the oldest tea region in Japan, where Tencha, which then gives rise to Matcha, has always been grown. The Asamiya area is practically a stone's throw from Uji and its teas are largely sold as Uji tea. Marukyu-Koyamaen's JAS Matcha Midori sold with a JAS certificate also comes from this production area.
Aoi no Ue is an excellent Matcha with a complex, rich, sweet aroma with no bitter notes. Excellent for both casual Matcha drinkers and serious enthusiasts. It is a Matcha that has received awards in many industry competitions and contests, which in itself is a guarantee of high quality, as only the best Japanese Matcha can even be a candidate for it. To be fair, in the competitions just mentioned, there is no actual "Matcha" category as much as there is the Tencha category, within which Matcha tea falls, Tencha being the raw material from which it is produced.
the first complete tea ceremony that a student has the opportunity to learn. In doing so, you prepare usucha using a special brazier, natsume and all other necessary utensils. The ceremony is presented by Marius Frøisland.
