Experience the Joy of the New Year with Gong Cha's Mochi Matcha

As the season of initial tea approaches, Gong Cha Japan is thrilled to introduce their limited-time offering, the "Mochi Matcha" tea, available starting December 26, 2025. This delightful dessert tea is crafted with authentic Japanese matcha and topped with festive red and white toppings, perfect for ringing in the New Year.

Celebrate the New Year with Mochi Matcha

The Mochi Matcha is all about utilizing 100% domestic matcha, ensuring a rich and fragrant experience that embodies the essence of the New Year. This special drink features a robust matcha milk tea base, complemented by soft, chewy "Mochi Pearls" and a fluffy milk foam topping.

The delicate pink color of the mochi pearls, together with the vibrant green of the matcha milk tea and fluffy white milk foam, creates a visually stunning beverage that perfectly embodies the festive spirit.

But that’s not all—alongside this delightful drink, Gong Cha will also debut their Matcha Financier, which harmoniously blends the rich umami of matcha with the gentle sweetness of azuki beans, prioritizing a calming tea time experience. It’s a perfect pairing to savor alongside the Mochi Matcha, ensuring a delightful treat for the senses.
