AYAKO
Premium Matcha
Description
Mizota san has created a stunning and complex premium matcha using only the Yabukita cultivar. Stone-ground, AYAKO has a silken texture with a bright bitterness and a full mouthfeel. This matcha highlights all of the wonderful characteristics and authenticity of Yame.
It has notes of avocado, parsnip, and cocoa husk which are followed by hints of corn and chocolate. It is a unique experience that you will want to enjoy. AYAKO's hand-plucked, single-estate leaves are grown and transformed in Yame with stone-ground mortars.
*About the 250g option: please note that this is made at time of order and takes about 1 week to be prepared by the producer as it is a stone-ground matcha.

Great company and really fast shipping!
Good quality
All of Ikkyu's matchas are great. This one wasn't quite strong enough for me, but still definitely very good quality. Ayame is my favourite so this one has to be ranked a bit lower. I do like it though.
Surprisingly Creamy!
I drink ceremonial matcha on a regular basis so had an idea of what to expect but the creaminess was a pleasant surprise! Going back to try this in a latte to satisfy the curiosity.
Ayako
Wonderful tea and service.
AYAKO
I have been ordering Ayako match for a while now. I really like the texture of the match and the taste is even better. Great way to wake up in the morning!
