Tencha farmer from Wazuka, Kyoto—Hori-san and her daughter (unfortunately, our friend, daughter Megumi, passed away in 2023)—bring you a small batch (only 1-2 dozen kg harvested) matcha made from a new and still rare cultivar called Asanoka.
The Asanoka cultivar was registered in Kagoshima in 1996, and was made from a cross between the common Yabukita cultivar and a Chinese cultivar registered as Hiramizu #1. As a matcha, it will be refreshing with strong umami flavor and sweet notes.

About the Garden
The 4th generation Kiroku Tea Garden is in the heart of Wazuka, Kyoto prefecture, an area whose mountain tea fields and undulating terraced slopes thick with fog make perfect tea-growing conditions. Founded nearly 100 years ago, before cars and farming machinery were available, their mountain fields were cleared by hand by the Great-Grandfather of sisters Megumi and Ui Hori.
Today, with their mother, the sisters find themselves in the unusual position of being a farm entirely owned and operated by women. After the passing of their father, the three women took over the running of the farm to continue their family’s legacy, one that began in these fields all those years ago. In the male-dominated tea agriculture and production industry, their efforts are a challenge to the status quo. At Yunomi, we are proud to support their dedication. To learn more about the Kiroku Tea Garden, please check out our interview with Ui Hori (posted April 2021).
