Aokomi 若 込み is a passion-turned-mission
We are dedicated to bring high-quality fresh ground matcha to Hong Kong where many matcha lovers yet to taste real tasty single-origin matcha.Source only directly from tencha farms across Japan that still uses traditional techniques of handpicked '手摘み', Ooishita cultivation ' 覆い下栽培', Shizen jitate ' 自然仕立て', and Komo or Woven Rice Straw shading '稲わらを編んだもの—簀巻'.
In collaborations with leading tea farmers in Japan, we continue to explore the possibilities and pioneer methods of growing that deliver extraordinary tencha and is good for the environment.
Through the ‘Farm to Mill’ concept, Aokomi brings value direct to the tencha tea farmers and what the tea growers have been doing and producing for generations and genrations.
The milling part is as important as the farming. At Aokomi we mill the techa leaves fresh in-house in Hong Kong to provide exceptional quality, unique flavours while preseving the highest nutrious benefits of matcha. Basically like coffee, so why not with matcha?!
