New Crop 2025 is a bright, spring-harvest matcha with a beautifully vibrant green colour. Produced only once a year in a very short window, this limited batch is already out of production — it won’t return until next year’s new harvest.
- Aroma: Fresh leafy greens with a touch of malabar spinach, layered with sweet, nutty tones.
- Tasting Notes: A round and balanced profile — starting with gentle vegetable notes, moving into rich, umami creaminess reminiscent of cheese with a subtle spice, and finishing with toasty nutty depth and an exceptionally lingering sweetness. Bitterness in usucha is very light and quickly gives way to deep, mellow sweetness.
- How to Enjoy: Whisk into a smooth usucha to savour its gentle bitterness and sweet finish, or prepare as a premium latte for a rich, comforting cup.
- Perfect For: Those seeking a well-rounded matcha with depth, creaminess, and a lingering sweet aftertaste.
- Why It’s Special: Harvested in the early spring season and made only once a year, it’s available for an extremely limited time before production stops until the next harvest — making each cup a rare and fleeting experience.

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.
