Due to the fact that yield is low compared to other cultivars, Asahi is mainly used for higher priced teas, such as Matcha or Gyokuro. Senchas of this cultivar are a real rarity.
Very green and sweet in taste, which is completed with the typical elegant Asahi aroma, slightly reminiscent of cocoa. Extremely complex and very intense - overall, this Sencha is slightly reminiscent of a green oolong
A fresh aroma is complemented with a strong sweetness and fruity umami. Well-balanced, elegant, but at the same time very intense in taste.
