/products/premium-select-matcha | Premium Select Matcha - 20g | Matcha | $53 | This matcha is our exclusive blend from the most prestigious farms in Kyoto. High-class richness, delicate sweetness, and unique taste notes each year. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Every year, the highest-regarded tencha* farmers in Japan enter the best of their harvest into tea competitions, hoping to earn prestige and recognition for their efforts. Premium Select Matcha is our exclusive blend that selects from these farmers’ competition-level harvests. This blend is available once per year for a short period. Unlike the matcha blends we offer year-round, each release of Premium Select Matcha is one-of-a-kind, never to be tasted again. *Tencha is the name for shade-grown tea leaves ground to make matcha powder. Premium Select Matcha displays the rich, full-bodied character that we enjoy in all of our highest class matcha. Uniquely, the secondary taste notes of this blend change each year, thanks to the climate and growing conditions in Kyoto. In a few words, the 2024 release of Premium Select Matcha is round, clean, and fresh. It offers a complex experience. At first sip, it is clean, smooth, and approachable. However, after swallowing, its round, rich umami starts to blossom, filling the whole palate. Though the finish is long and full, the overall experience feels clean and lightweight. To make comparisons, the initial fresh moss-like character opens up to a round umami that reminds us of a crisp Parmesan. Its fragrance is sweet and lush, while its color is verdant like the spring undergrowth in the mountains south of Kyoto. This is an accessible, low-astringency release of Premium Select Matcha, and we recommend it to new matcha drinkers as well. Seasoned matcha fans will enjoy the complexity of its taste from beginning to end. When preparing it, try mixing just with hot or cold water to fully enjoy its nuances. Enjoy after breakfast to start off the day feeling fresh, or at teatime, pair with something light like a piece of dried fruit. |

/products/nodoka-special-spring-matcha | Nodoka - 20g | Matcha | $18 | Available only in spring, Nodoka has a pleasant balance of umami and subtle sharpness. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Latte: 3 g (1.5 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 1.7" × 3.7" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Nodoka, which is Japanese for “serenity,” was named after the bright, warm feeling we get once the days start getting longer in spring. Nodoka has medium richness and would place above Kan in our regular year-round selection. When you start to whisk it, you’ll notice its fragrance is fresh and dew-like, wafting up from the bowl. Take a sip, and you’ll taste a note of astringency followed soon by layers of sweetness and umami. Pause for a second to experience the aftertaste, which lingers with a balanced, refreshing character. As koicha, this matcha’s nuances are much more prominent, and you can fully appreciate its balance of umami, astringency, and fragrance. In a matcha latte, its mild astringency pairs well with the milk, producing a mellow drink with more umami than our lighter blends. This spring-themed package features flowers of the tea tree, reminiscent of the spring blossoms of Japanese plum and cherry trees. As a present, this lighthearted design will surely cheer the recipient with the spirit of spring. |

/products/tsukikage-special-autumn-matcha | Tsukikage - 20g | Matcha | $18 | Available only in the fall, Tsukikage has a pleasant balance of umami and subtle sharpness. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Latte: 3 g (1.5 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 1.7" × 3.7" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Brisk fall afternoons call for matcha paired with sweets, cookies, and desserts. We blend Tsukikage to be the perfect matcha for daily matcha drinking this season. When you prepare Tsukikage, the first thing you notice is its vibrant color. When you take a sip, you’ll first taste its crisp astringency, followed by layers of sweetness and umami. It’s a not-too-light and not-too-rich blend, popular with matcha drinkers of all levels. Try Tsukikage straight to enjoy its natural sweetness and nuances. Matcha fans will appreciate it as koicha, where it displays a more robust flavor. We also recommend it in a matcha latte, where its mild astringency pairs well with the creaminess of the milk. The moon is at its most beautiful in fall, and for ages Japanese poets have written of the moon as a symbol of this season. Tsukikage – our autumn-exclusive matcha – is named after the light of the moon. We designed Tsukikage’s package after the season. Flowers of the tea plant—which blooms in October in Kyoto—are drawn on a deep brown backdrop. We often suggest this tea for any small gift giving occasions this season. |

/products/new-years-matcha | New Year's Matcha 2025 (Mi-no-mukashi) - 20g | Matcha | $29 | Stride into the new year with this special release matcha. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Our New Year’s Matcha release for 2025, Mi-no-mukashi, has lush, round umami and natural sweetness. It has a warm, almost toasty fragrance, and its aftertaste is clear and medium-short, so it’s easy to drink sip after sip. Each year, this release is blended to have a round character that is comforting and invigorating at the holidays and at New Year’s—and this year exhibits those characteristics beautifully as well. We feel confident recommending it even to new matcha drinkers. We recommend preparing this matcha straight with water as koicha or usucha, to experience its deep fragrance, pure umami, and beautiful clarity. For matcha fans, try preparing it with a little less water than you typically use. A more-concentrated recipe will highlight its rich character nicely. Matcha latte fans will find it makes one of the smoothest, easiest-to-drink lattes you’ve ever tried. New Year’s is the most important holiday in Japan, and drinking matcha is a part of the celebrations. Traditionally, this New Year’s Matcha is used in the first tea ceremony of the year (hatsugama). More casually, families will sit down at home with a bowl of matcha during their holiday together, enjoying the warmth of each other’s company. Beyond these traditions, this is an accessible matcha for personal enjoyment, and it makes for a thoughtful gift. In celebration of 2025, the Year of the Snake, this special label depicts a traditional toy snake. We hope this cute design will add to the delight of your New Year’s festivities and matcha moments this winter. The meaning of the name Mi-no-mukashi: Mi means “snake” in Japanese. |

/products/new-harvest-matcha | New Harvest Matcha 2024 - 20g | Matcha | $35 | This limited release is an aromatic, soothing matcha perfect for enjoying in summer. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) New Harvest Matcha 2024 is round, soft, and utterly drinkable. It has the fresh, vibrant energy of just-picked tea leaves with an approachable, smooth taste. The aroma is sweet, almost like tropical fruit, while its color is radiant green, almost like neon. After sipping, we enjoy how its umami is both plentiful and goes down smooth. There’s barely any astringency or bitterness to note, so it feels soothing, especially when iced. To make comparisons, its taste reminded us of fresh cream, sea salt, and gazpacho. Typically, matcha is made from leaves that have been rested for a period of many months. The resting process develops and matures the leaves, producing a complex and relaxed character. Our New Harvest Matcha, on the other hand, is a unique release. It was made by grinding the new tea leaves harvested this year, 2024, right after they were picked. As a result, this matcha has a fresh and fragrant character that stands out in our selection.
Each year we look forward to tasting this limited tea’s unique character, as its fragrance and taste notes vary depending on the weather and growing conditions. While the nuances may change, it compares to rich category blends from our year-round offering.
Try this year’s New Harvest Matcha first as iced matcha served in a glass, and feel revitalized by its brilliant color and soothing taste on a hot summer afternoon. We also highly recommend trying it as koicha, where it is a little more robust and satisfying. As regular usucha, it has a bright aroma and an easy-to-drink character. In a latte, its vivid color is stunning, though its complexities may be overshadowed by the sweetness of the milk. |

/products/kanza | Kanza - 20g | Matcha | $72 | Kanza is the highest-ranking matcha in our lineup. Its beautifully strong fragrance, unwavering umami, clean aftertaste, and silky character are unparalleled in our collection. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Mirume - a word used by tea professionals in Japan to describe the ultra-young, tender, and delicate character of certain high-class teas. Kanza is the newest addition to our matcha offering. After receiving feedback from fans of our full-bodied matcha blends, our master blenders prepared this blend to be the most luscious matcha in our lineup. They have shared their personal tasting comments on this tea below. “In Kanza you can enjoy a strong and rich umami, with an aftertaste that has remarkable
depth. It reminds me of an excellent full-bodied red wine. I will reach for Kanza when I want to have a silent
moment alone with my thoughts. Its lush character deserves quiet attention and focus.” “Both Kanza’s fragrance and flavor are unequivocally powerful. From the first moment you take
a sip to the end of the finish, it has a strong, unwavering umami, and no astringency. But make no mistake; it
is not at all light-bodied.” “Typical of a top class matcha, Kanza has a tender, mirume character, which is balanced
by its bright fragrance. I can tell it has been painstakingly, carefully shaded, from its umami, which is
neither fluffy nor sharp-edged, and from its fragrance, which is in a class of its own.” “Its color is deep blue and vivid. Its fragrance has a distinct sweet note, and I felt it represents the classic Ippodo character overall. Its sweetness and umami are strong, and it has a clean aftertaste, with the mirume character of a matcha of this caliber. Kanza is a matcha I want to relax and take my time with. Prepare it by using a just-warm temperature water, to
bring out its top class sweetness and umami. Or, choose to use a hotter temperature water to emphasize its
remarkable fragrance. This will produce a cleaner, crisper taste that I can recommend just as well.” |

/products/kuon-eternity | Kuon (Eternity) - 20g | Matcha | $49 | Kuon has a vivid green color, a long aftertaste, and rich umami - hallmarks of a high-class matcha. It stands out for its wonderfully bright fragrance. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) Mirume - a word used by tea professionals in Japan to describe the ultra-young, tender, and delicate character of certain high-class teas. Kuon is a rich, elegant matcha blend that was originally exclusive to the Ippodo Tea New York Store. After seeing its popularity among matcha fans in New York, we added it to our online lineup. Our blending and tasting team members have shared their personal tasting comments on this tea below. “Kuon feels clean and refreshing, in both the umami at the start and in the aftertaste. Comparing it side-by-side with Kanza, its crisp aftertaste reminds me of the feeling I get when drinking white wine. I enjoy drinking Kuon in the morning while I’m still waking up. Taking a sip of its refreshing, crisp taste is like pressing a start button for my body and my spirits. I would also suggest pairing it with something a little sweet, for a palate-cleansing experience.” “Kuon has a strong fragrance and a deep flavor, and a while after the first impression, I begin to very slightly sense a touch of crisp astringency.” “Kuon's strongest characteristic is its fragrance, which is striking from the moment you start to whisk it. Underneath the bright fragrance, I notice its tender, mirume* character, a sign of a top class matcha. This balance of tenderness and fragrance defines this unique tea. Its umami is indeed rich, and I can feel a little youthful energy in it. The aftertaste is just right, and fades with a light, clean finish. After trying it as regular usucha and koicha, I suggest preparing it whisked with cold water, to emphasize the beautiful aspects of its fragrance. I think it also pairs well with sweets.” “Kuon’s color is deep blue and vivid, and its fragrance has a strong presence. Given the quality of its fragrance, it is undeniably a classic Ippodo matcha. Its taste is dominated by sweetness and umami, and its flavor feels round. Given its round sweetness and umami, I would recommend whisking it at a somewhat low temperature warm water, or even with cold water, for a deep experience. Try pairing it with different sweets, or drink it on its own, straight; I can imagine enjoying it in a lot of different scenarios.” |

/products/ummon-no-mukashi-40g | Ummon - 40g | Matcha | $58 | Ummon has a powerful umami, deep emerald green color, and sweet aroma. This matcha is a treat to be savored. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2.6" Net weight1.4 oz (40 g) For decades Ummon has been one of the richest, most full-forced matcha blends in our selection. Our blending and tasting team members have shared their personal tasting comments on this tea below. “Overall, Ummon is a friendly, accessible matcha. It has a pleasant taste that envelops your palate, from the sweetness and umami at first sip, to the moment you arrive at the aftertaste. Since Ummon is so universally well-liked, I will prepare it for family, friends, and just about anyone else.
Whatever the situation, I recommend preparing it a little on the strong side so that you can feel its full
impact.” “Ummon has an abundant, rich fragrance at its core, and its bright umami feels strong. This
is not a reserved nor a light tasting matcha. Its umami is balanced by a not-unpleasant astringency that you
feel as it goes down.” “The quality that defines Ummon best is the richness of its flavor. Among our matcha, it is the top representative of the richness and bright fragrance that make the classic Ippodo character. The rich sensation comes through in its umami taste, not in astringency nor bitterness. This is a matcha I feel comfortable preparing for and drinking with tea connoisseurs.” “Ummon’s color has a strong blue tinge. Its fragrance has just the right level of strength, and it has the classic Ippodo character. Its sweetness and umami are full, and it leaves a powerful impression that continues through the aftertaste. Since it has such a strong presence, you can enjoy it as either koicha (thick matcha), usucha (thin matcha), or
both. Given its full sweetness and umami and its long finish, I like to enjoy it in a lot of different
scenarios. However, if I had to choose, my favorite is to enjoy it at teatime paired with sweets.” |

/products/sayaka-no-mukashi | Sayaka - 40g | Matcha | $37 | Our recommendation for people new to our matcha, Sayaka is a more light-hearted, smooth tea in the rich category. Its sweetness and umami are accompanied by a hint of bitterness. Note: Sayaka (named by the head of the Urasenke school) is the same matcha as Horai (named by the head of Omotesenke school of tea ceremony). The only difference is the size of the package. |
About matcha names
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 180 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving sizeUsucha: 2 g (1 tsp.) Latte: 3 g (1.5 tsp.) Koicha: 4 g (2 tsp.) Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2.6" Net weight1.4 oz (40 g) We recommend Sayaka for your first taste of Ippodo matcha, as it is a smooth blend with umami and just a hint of astringency. Try this matcha as koicha to experience the full depth and nuances of its character. As usucha, Sayaka is an accessible tea to serve to beginners and connoisseurs alike at teatime. For matcha lattes, we usually recommend a medium-to-light category matcha with more astringency, but some will choose Sayaka for its bright color, umami, and soft astringency. |

Size 2.1" × 2.1" × 2" Net weight0.7 oz (20 g) This premium organic matcha blend has pleasant bitterness and astringency offset by undertones of sweetness and umami. It has a balanced profile remarkable for an organic matcha release. Its presence is satisfying and medium-rich, and its aftertaste lingers for just the right amount of time. It has a vegetal and sweet fragrance and a vivid, eye-catching green color. We recommend trying Premium Organic Matcha in your favorite matcha drinks, from regular usucha, to matcha lattes, to thick matcha (koicha). As koicha, this matcha’s nuances are much more prominent, and it has a powerful impact. Ranking outside of our regular lineup, this limited tea changes character with every release. It is shipped in small quantities, and may sell out frequently. Our organic teas are produced in the Kyoto tea production region and are certified organic by the JAS. (The USDA recognizes JAS organic certification as an equivalent standard to USDA organic certification.) We have selected each organic variety to meet Ippodo standards for authentic Japanese green tea flavor, aroma, and color. Additionally, compared to our other tea blends, the weather and other growing factors lead to greater differences in the character of our organic teas every year. Discovering this year's unique characteristics is one of the delights of these teas. |

/products/shincha | Uji Shincha - New Harvest Sencha 2024 - 100g Bag | Sencha | $35 | Ippodo’s Shincha is a sencha green tea that is released as soon as possible after harvest in late spring. Each year we relish its energetic, vibrant character. |
Shelf lifeConsume quickly The best before date is 150 days from when it is freshly packaged in Japan. For the best experience, consume within around one month of opening. Serving size10 g / 0.35 oz (~2 Tbsp.) Up to 3 pots can be brewed with the same leaves. Size 5.5" × 2.8" × 6.8" Net weight3.5 oz (100 g) Each spring, as the weather starts to warm, the tea fields in the mountains south of Kyoto begin to awaken. The tea plants that huddled up, storing their energy and nutrients over the cold, long winter, begin to put out tiny green buds. Over the next month, these buds begin to grow, reaching up and up for the wide blue sky. When the time is right, tea farmers get busy harvesting the spry new leaves. At Ippodo, we blend selected fresh new sencha harvests to produce our Shincha tea each year. Shincha 2024 is well-balanced, flavorful, and vivid. Its fragrance is the most vibrant in recent memory- sunny, fresh, green, and vegetal. In the cup, its plentiful umami is balanced by a tinge of crisp astringency. In the undertones, it has a mineral-like, slate-like quality that adds a nice structure to the experience. Finally, beautiful vibrant green leaves and a bright golden brew color make this year’s Shincha a visual treat as well.
For first-timers, this year is a classic introduction to Shincha, full of energy and green freshness. Longtime sencha fans will enjoy its verdant fragrance, balanced taste, and complexity over many brews. Compared to our normal selection of sencha, Shincha has a powerful flavor, aroma, and aftertaste. Its youthful strength is refreshing, like a splash of ice-cold water on the face in the morning. Like Shincha, our regular sencha lineup is also harvested once per year in late spring. We allow the regular senchas to rest until they develop a relaxed, mature flavor. We then blend them with previous harvests to produce a consistent product sold throughout the year. We love our regular sencha selection for its calm and mature character. We love Shincha for its fleeting, energetic character that invigorates us at the start of summer. |

For first-timers, this year is a classic introduction to Shincha, full of energy and green freshness. Longtime sencha fans will enjoy its verdant fragrance, balanced taste, and complexity over many brews. Deepen your appreciation of Shincha’s vibrancy and Ippodo regular sencha’s mellow depths with this comparison set. For the set, we selected our standard sencha Kumpu, which is a different sencha blend at a similar price point to Shincha. In Kumpu, we enjoy a classic balance of light astringency, pleasant umami, and an elegant finish. Compared to a standard sencha like Kumpu, Shincha has a powerful flavor, aroma, and aftertaste. Its youthful strength is refreshing, like a splash of ice-cold water on the face in the morning. Like Shincha, Kumpu is also harvested once per year in late spring. We allow it and all other regular senchas to rest until they develop a relaxed, mature flavor. We then blend them with previous harvests to produce a consistent product sold throughout the year. We love Kumpu for its calm and mature character. We love Shincha for its fleeting, energetic character that invigorates us at the start of summer. This bundle set includes both items shipped together as in a regular order. |
