Kanabayashi Shunsho Aya no Mori
Kanbayashi Shunsho “Aya no Mori” | Premium Ceremonial-Grade Uji Matcha from Kyoto, Japan
Crafted by Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten, a 450-year-old Uji tea house revered for its deep roots in traditional Ujicha culture, Aya no Mori (彩の森) embodies the harmony, color, and refined elegance that Uji’s finest ceremonial matcha is known for.
Made from carefully selected first-harvest Uji tencha, stone-ground with precision, Aya no Mori delivers a sensory experience centered around purity, fragrance, and a beautifully balanced taste — ideal for both usucha (thin tea) and elevated daily rituals.
🌿 Taste & Aroma Profile
Aroma: Bright, fresh, and green with gentle floral undertones — reminiscent of shaded Kyoto tea fields after rain. Subtle notes of steamed young leaves and soft nuttiness add depth.
Flavor: Smooth, clean, and delicately layered. Begins with a soft natural sweetness, followed by a mild vegetal richness and a light umami glow. The taste is elegant rather than intense, making Aya no Mori approachable yet refined.
Umami Level: Medium — rounded and subtle, offering savoriness without heaviness.
Sweetness Level: Medium-high — gentle, creamy sweetness that lingers softly on the palate.
Bitterness: Low — controlled and refined, typical of high-quality shaded Uji matcha.
Texture: Silky and fine, whisking easily into a bright, creamy foam with a beautiful soft-green hue.
