Ippodo Tea

New Year's Matcha 2026 (Koma-mukashi)

Sourced from Ippodo Tea's Kyoto estates, this limited New Year's release showcases a delicate sweetness reminiscent of tender pea shoots and morning dew. The flavor profile unfolds with surprising complexity and roundness, finishing cleanly without lingering astringency, while a soft mouthfeel and deep fragrance linger throughout. Equally suited to both ceremonial preparation and modern latte applications, this matcha delivers an approachable, smooth cup that invites contemplation or casual enjoyment.
