Origin Tasting Duo: IKI × ASA
Origin Tasting Duo: IKI × ASA
Shizuoka vs. Kagoshima. Taste how origin shapes matcha.
Just like wine, matcha tastes different depending on where it grows. This duo pairs two of our ceremonial blends from two regions so you can taste the difference side by side.
IKI from Shizuoka is layered and deep, with rich umami and a silky finish. ASA from Kagoshima is fresh and bright, made for your morning cup. Whisk both, sip slowly and notice the aroma, the sweetness and how each one finishes. Then decide your favorite, or keep both for different moods.
Every purchase supports the Japanese tea farmers we work with, many of them family-run farms where the craft has been passed down for generations. You get a better cup, and they get a reason to keep growing.
