Aoarashi (40g)

Aoarashi Matcha – Refreshing and Versatile

Aoarashi (“Blue Storm”) is a vibrant and refreshing matcha from Marukyu Koyamaen, specially recommended for Usucha (thin tea). With its bright, invigorating flavor, Aoarashi is not only ideal for traditional tea preparation but also a great matcha for lattes, baking, and confectionery.

How to Prepare Usucha (Thin Tea):

1. Sift 2g (about 1 tsp) of Aoarashi matcha into a tea bowl (chawan).
2. Add 70-80ml (2.5-3 oz) of hot water (80°C / 175°F).
3. Whisk briskly in a “W” motion using a bamboo whisk (chasen) until a light, frothy layer forms.
4. Enjoy its crisp and refreshing taste, either on its own or paired with sweets.

How to Make a Matcha Latte:

1. Sift 2g (about 1 tsp) of Aoarashi matcha into a cup or bowl.
2. Add 30ml (1 oz) of hot water and whisk until smooth.
3. Steam or warm 200ml (6-7 oz) of milk or a dairy alternative, then pour over the matcha.
4. Stir well and sweeten to taste if desired.

Versatile and flavorful, Aoarashi brings a refreshing matcha experience—whether enjoyed traditionally or as a modern indulgence.
