Aya no Mori (綾の森) is an approachable ceremonial‑grade usucha from Kanbayashi Shunshō, a Uji tea house with over 450 years of legacy. Named after an ancient tea garden, this everyday matcha offers vibrant green energy balanced with creamy, slightly nutty, and toasted notes, accompanied by a silky yet durable finish

About this item:

  • Rich & Full‑Bodied: A smooth, satisfying cup with toasted grain and nut tones moving into pleasant vegetal depth
  • Chocolatey Aroma: Some drinkers note a dark chocolate or roasted‑nut fragrance that carries through even in milk-based preparations
  • Balanced Usucha: Refreshing without harsh bitterness—its mild astringency elevates rather than dominates
  • 450‑Year Heritage: Produced by the 15th generation of Uji’s Kanbayashi tea masters—every bag tells a story
  • 100% Uji Origin: Shade‑grown, stone‑ground, and packaged in Kyoto’s historic tea‑garden region
  • Four Sizes: Perfect for sampling or daily use—20 g box, 40 g box, 100 g bag, 200 g can
  • Note from the manufacturer: Production of 20 g and 40 g cans is currently suspended. All fresh matcha stock ships in boxes instead of tins until further notice
