Aoi Seicha – Goku Mukashi (極昔)
Origin: Nishio, Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Producer: Aoi Seicha Co., Ltd.
Grade: Ceremonial / Koicha (Thick Tea)
Goku Mukashi by Aoi Seicha represents the pinnacle of their ceremonial collection — an exceptional matcha crafted from first-harvest, shade-grown leaves in Nishio’s fertile tea fields. The name “Goku Mukashi” translates to Ultimate Tradition, capturing the spirit of mastery and refinement that defines Aoi Seicha’s generations of craftsmanship.
This matcha delivers an elegant, velvety texture and a bold, savory umami depth balanced by soft sweetness. Its flavor unfolds gradually — rich, oceanic, and creamy — leaving a long, satisfying finish. Designed for koicha (thick tea) yet smooth enough for usucha (thin tea), it is a perfect choice for those who seek the true essence of Japanese ceremonial matcha.
