Aoi Seicha is a renowned Japanese producer of high-quality matcha from Nishio in Aichi Prefecture, ensuring exceptional flavor and freshness through traditional methods.

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.

Frequently asked questions

DOES MATCHA EXPIRED OR PASSED ITS BEST DATE?

Matcha does not “expire”. The date on the can is the manufacturer’s best before date, which is the manufacturer's suggested date of when the matcha will taste at its peak umami.

How fresh is our matcha?

  • All our matcha is freshly picked from most time.
  • Their shelf life follows the manufacturer's guide, which varies from 3 to 12 months (mostly: 6–10 months).
  • If a product’s BBD date is very close or part of a promotion, we clearly label it as a separate variant so you can choose knowingly.

How should I store my matcha?

  • Before BBF date: Store in a cool (<25°C) and dry place, or in the fridge.
  • Closer to BBF date (around 2 weeks before): Move to the freezer to maintain umami and greenness flavour.
  • After BBF date: You can keep it in the freezer and enjoy for a few extra months.
  • Tip: Once you take it out of the freezer for use, return it immediately to avoid moisture affecting the umami.
