Ippodo Tea Matcha - Koma Mukashi 20g Box (New Year Edition) Ceremonial Matcha

Ippodo Tea – Koma-mukashi Special New Year’s Matcha

Limited Edition Ceremonial Japanese Matcha Powder – 20 g Box

Koma-mukashi is a limited-edition ceremonial matcha released exclusively by Ippodo to welcome the New Year. Available only during the year-end and early New Year period, this special blend is crafted to celebrate renewal, reflection, and auspicious beginnings. The name and packaging are inspired by the Year of the Horse, symbolising vitality, grace, and forward momentum.

This seasonal matcha is designed to shine in both usucha and koicha, offering a celebratory depth that feels generous, uplifting, and refined.

Flavour Profile

• Rich, rounded umami balanced with a refined, pleasant sharpness
• Naturally sweet and satisfying, without heaviness
• Clean, refreshing finish that lingers gently on the palate

Aroma & Texture

• Highly fragrant and aromatic, releasing a sweet, uplifting scent the moment it is whisked
• Vivid spring-green colour reminiscent of sunlit tea fields
• Smooth, polished texture that feels elegant in both light and thick preparations

Why It Stands Out

• A seasonal blend created specifically for celebration and gifting
• Versatile enough to be enjoyed lighter or richer depending on mood or time of day
• Designed to elevate special moments with family, guests, or quiet personal rituals

How to Enjoy

• Prepare as usucha for a bright, refreshing experience mid-morning
• Prepare as koicha for a fuller, more indulgent bowl in the afternoon
• Adjust the amount of powder to suit your mood or the sweets you are pairing it with

Perfect Pairings

• Traditional New Year sweets
• Light wagashi or subtly sweet desserts
• Best enjoyed on its own first to fully appreciate its balance and fragrance
