宇治 丸久小山園 - 青嵐
This matcha is characterized by its vibrant green color, sweet aroma, and mellow flavor.
When diluted slightly, it has a refreshing taste.
It also pairs well when mixed with milk or cream in confectionery.
Marukyu Koyamaen Aoarashi Matcha 青嵐 is a highly popular, premium mid-range thin tea (Usucha) and high-end culinary matcha from the historic Kyoto-based tea producer Marukyu Koyamaen.
- It offers a mild, savory richness (umami) reminiscent of fresh seaweed and steamed greens, followed by a clean, subtle sweetness that lingers on the palate. Compared to higher-grade options like Isuzu or Yugen, Aoarashi has a slightly more pronounced and brisk bitterness. However, this bitterness is clean and refreshing rather than harsh, making it excellent for cutting through rich milk or sugar. It possesses a vibrant, nutty, and freshly-cut grass aroma. The powder itself whips into a beautiful, bright jade-green froth.
Best Uses
Thin Tea (Usucha): Excellent for beginners learning to drink straight matcha whisked with hot water.
Premium Matcha Lattes: This is where Aoarashi truly shines. Its moderate bitterness ensures the distinct taste of matcha cuts sharply through the creamy milk, keeping the latte tasting like authentic green tea rather than just warm milk.
High-End Baking & Desserts: Because it retains its vibrant green color and strong flavor profile even when baked, it is highly favored by pastry chefs for making matcha lattes, crepe cakes, and ice creams.
