New Year's Matcha is a limited release only available in winter. We blend it to have a round, plentiful character that is comforting at the holidays and at New Year's. Even on the gloomiest winter day, enjoying this matcha leaves us feeling fully refreshed and invigorated, ready to stride into the new year.

The release for 2024, Tatsu-mukashi, is unique in its beautiful clarity. Its taste is billowy, and its umami blossoms right from the first sip. Given its plentiful character and barely-there astringency, we recommend it to new matcha drinkers and fans alike.

We recommend preparing this matcha straight with water as koicha or usucha, to experience its deep fragrance, purity, and beautiful clarity. For matcha fans, try preparing it with a little less water than you typically use, as a more-concentrated recipe highlights its rich character nicely.
