Its matcha comes from four [terroir](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/terroir)-driven regions—*Uji*, [Nishio](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/nishio), [Kagoshima](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/kagoshima), and [Shizuoka](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/shizuoka)—and is traditionally stone-ground to preserve vibrant colour and umami. Plants are shaded weeks before harvest using the *Tana* system to boost chlorophyll and amino acids; only the youngest hand-picked leaves are processed. The brand maintains direct partnerships with producers in Uji and Nishio, and its farms avoid pesticides and synthetic fertilisers. ## Uji ceremonial matcha without bitterness, for usucha or lattes Aoarashi Matcha 青岚 is a ceremonial grade matcha powder from Uji, Japan, sold by ICHA TEA in Toronto. It is described as refreshing and free of bitterness, which makes it easy to drink and suited to daily matcha rather than occasional use. All three formats are currently sold out, and each release carries a strict one-per-customer limit. ### What does Aoarashi Matcha taste like? The appeal here is drinkability. The flavor is refreshing and carries no bitterness, so it works for people who find some matcha too sharp to enjoy plain or who want a bowl every morning without bracing for astringency. That profile also explains why it is positioned as an everyday matcha rather than a once-a-week indulgence: nothing about it demands careful moderation of the whisking or an unusually low water temperature to stay pleasant. ### Usucha or latte: which preparation suits it best? Two uses are singled out for this matcha. The first is traditional thin tea, or usucha, the standard whisked bowl of matcha and hot water that shows the powder’s character most directly. The second is a matcha latte, where the recommendation points to a creamy result with milk. A ceremonial grade powder that stays free of bitterness is a reasonable fit for both, since it does not rely on added sweetener to become approachable. ### Sizes, purchase limits, and current stock Aoarashi is released in small quantities, and the buying rules reflect that. Before planning an order, note the following: - **40g**, limit one per person, currently sold out - **100g bag**, limit one per person, currently sold out - **1kg bag**, limit one per person, currently sold out The limit applies to the whole product line, not to each format. One Aoarashi item per customer per release is the rule whether the choice is a tin or a bag, and splitting a purchase into separate orders does not get around it. Orders that exceed the limit are cancelled, and only one item per customer is fulfilled. The stated reason is fairness across buyers given very limited inventory. Aoarashi is listed under ICHA TEA’s matcha pre-order category, so the practical approach for interested buyers is to watch for the next release rather than expect continuous stock. Decide on a size in advance, since the one-item limit means choosing between the 40g, the 100g bag, and the 1kg bag rather than combining them. Grade ### [Ceremonial](https://best-matcha.com/glossary/ceremonial-grade-matcha) Icha Tea offers you a **Ceremonial matcha powder**.Ceremonial is a commercial matcha grade made from hand-picked young tea leaves, then stone-ground for its taste and vibrant color. ## Frequently asked questions Uji ceremonial matcha without bitterness, for usucha or lattes Here are some frequently asked questions and answers. ### Where does Aoarashi Matcha come from?
