Tasting Notes
Ujiha Awa Premium Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha’s aroma reveals a smooth, full-bodied richness, complemented by nutty notes that evoke cashews and buttery textures. On the palate, this matcha offers a delightful balance of flavors, with sweet edamame undertones adding a unique depth. A hint of astringency provides a subtle contrast, while a very slight roasted note lingers gently, enhancing the overall complexity. The matcha’s silky, frothy mouthfeel rounds out the experience, making each sip a luxurious and satisfying journey through smooth, nutty, and delicately sweet sensations.
Matcha Latte
Out of all our matcha lineup, we recommend Ujiha Awa Premium Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha for matcha lattes. Typically, we don’t add anything to our matcha as we prefer to savor its pure, natural taste without any additions like sugar or milk. However, if you enjoy making matcha lattes with first harvest matchas, Awa is the perfect choice due to its exceptional taste profile.

Ujiha’s Organic Ceremonial Grade Matcha Awa Origin Story
Deep in the heart of Japan’s lush landscapes, near the mystical city of Uji, the Kobayashi family, renowned for their “Kotobuki” Matcha, embarked on a new journey. With generations of expertise in tea cultivation and a desire to bring the wonders of ceremonial grade matcha to a wider audience, they crafted “Awa” Matcha.
“Awa” Matcha emerged from a passion to create a ceremonial grade tea that maintains high standards while being accessible to more tea enthusiasts. The Kobayashi family applied their deep knowledge and innovative techniques to cultivate a matcha that, while more affordable than “Kotobuki”, doesn’t compromise on the ceremonial grade experience.
The magic of “Awa” lies in its froth – a creamy, rich layer that forms effortlessly upon whisking. This froth is not just aesthetically pleasing but also a testament to its quality and the skill behind its creation. The Kobayashi family believes that every cup of “Awa” Matcha is a celebration of the joy and artistry of traditional Japanese tea-making.
Rich in L-Theanine, like its predecessor “Kotobuki“, “Awa” offers a tranquil yet focused energy, perfect for those moments of reflection or a peaceful start to the day. Its flavor profile is both robust and inviting, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned matcha drinkers and newcomers alike.
In their quest to make ceremonial grade matcha more accessible, the Kobayashi family has not only expanded their legacy but also opened the doors of Japanese tea culture to the world. “Awa”, with its delightful froth and exceptional quality, invites everyone to partake in this centuries-old tradition, bringing a piece of Uji’s tranquility to everyday life.
