<p>Matcha aficionados, there&#x27;s a whole new world of matcha that awaits. Meet <strong>SUPER MATCHA SEOUL</strong>, hailing from the green pastures of <strong>Jeju, South Korea</strong>—now in <strong>SM Mega Fashion Hall</strong>!</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775017710327SUPER MATCHA Manila 1.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">SUPER MATCHA at the SM Mega Fashion Hall ground floor</span></span></span><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775017889783SUPER MATCHA Manila 2.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Find the vibrant green shop that sells amazing matcha</span></span></span><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>Why SUPER MATCHA?</strong></div><p>In a matcha-crazed culture, we&#x27;ve come across all sorts of matcha iterations in the past year. From traditional hot matcha tea served in Japanese restaurants, to trendy matcha oat lattes, to matcha pudding desserts, and even matcha cakes and cookies. But what sets SUPER MATCHA apart? Why join now?</p><p>A new era of matcha culture arrives from Seoul. SUPER MATCHA SEOUL, the tea brand leading Korea’s post-coffee movement, introduces a clean-tasting, smooth, and sustainably crafted matcha experience designed for modern lifestyles.  </p><p>Founded in<strong> 2017</strong>, SUPER MATCHA SEOUL was created to address the health challenges of excessive caffeine consumption in contemporary life. With its guiding mission, Post Coffee Culture for New Generation, the brand offers a gentler, more balanced alternative to coffee—one rooted in 1,300 years of matcha heritage yet distinctly shaped by Seoul’s progressive design culture.  </p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775018329624SUPER MATCHA Manila 3.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">A new era of matcha culture arrives from Seoul</span></span></span><strong></strong><strong></strong></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>What makes SUPER MATCHA Special?</strong></div><p>While we&#x27;re mostly familiar with Japanese matcha—its umami, earthy, often &quot;grassy&quot; taste, SUPER MATCHA boasts of a super smooth, clean-tasting matcha powder grown from Jeju. Born in Seoul, SUPER MATCHA SEOUL is rooted in South Korea’s deep tea heritage. The brand draws from this lineage and reinterprets it for contemporary life. Rather than preserving matcha as something distant or ceremonial-only, the brand reframes it as a compact daily ritual: <strong>clean, fresh, and accessible without losing its integrity.                                                        </strong></p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775019566300SUPER MATCHA Manila 4.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Rather than preserving matcha as something distant or ceremonial-only, the brand reframes it as a compact daily ritual: clean, fresh, and accessible without losing its integrity.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775019716303SUPER MATCHA Manila 5.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Clockwise: Matcha Lemon Ade, Oat Cream Matcha Latte, Oat Cream Bori Latte, Ensaymatcha Latte (Country Exclusive)</span></span></span></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>SUPER MATCHA Manila, Uniquely Korean</strong></div><p>This philosophy carries through to the first SUPER MATCHA SEOUL store in Manila, located at SM Megamall. The design concept mirrors the taste profile of Korean matcha: clean, balanced, and minimal. It does not overwhelm the palate. The linear counters, soft matcha hues, and repetition of clean horizontal lines create visual clarity. Just form, function, and flow, much like Korean matcha’s smooth taste and minimal bitterness. </p><p>The design concept also brings the traditional Korean Pyeong-sang to the Philippines: a low wooden communal platform that historically symbolized openness and equality. In Manila, SUPER MATCHA SEOUL reinterprets this centuries-old communal structure into a modern retail environment. Four backless benches are combined to evoke the spirit of the traditional <strong>Pyeong-sang</strong>, creating a space where people gather without rigid boundaries, reflecting the brand’s belief that matcha is for everyone.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775020051906SUPER MATCHA Manila 6.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Even material choices reflect Korean heritage and sustainability. The seating incorporates <strong>Haunji</strong>, an eco-friendly, high-performance vegan leather. Haunji is derived from hanji, traditional Korean paper made from the inner bark of mulberry trees. Haunji aligns with the sustainability values of SUPER MATCHA SEOUL — merging heritage craftsmanship with modern material innovation.                        </p><p>Through architecture, seating, flow, and materiality, the Manila store embodies what SUPER MATCHA SEOUL represents: A distinctly Korean reinterpretation of matcha. Communal rather than exclusive, clean rather than heavy, light yet deeply rooted in tradition.                                                        </p><div>    </div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775020166594SUPER MATCHA Manila 7.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Black Roll Cake and Strawberry Roll Cake</span></span></span></div><div>    <span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775020323915SUPER MATCHA Manila 8.jpg" style="width:700px;display:block;height:auto" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false"></span></span></span></div><p>Beyond the beverages served in-store, SUPER MATCHA SEOUL offers ceremonial-grade matcha in single-serve retail pockets, precisely portioned squares that require no measuring and no scooping. Tear, mix, and drink. </p><div><br/></div><p>Visit SUPER MATCHA at the G/F of SM Mega Fashion Hall, Ortigas.
