Matcha Tea Set Given Out

Content Creators Were Given a Matcha Tea Set During Worlds 2023

Notable people who attended Worlds 2023 were gifted a tea set whose box was marked with the date August 22, 2023. They were also taken to a location where they were given the opportunity to experience a traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony.

Matcha Imagery in Teasers and Official Art

Pokemon SV - Macha Design

A lot of promotional images released after the trailer and even the header and Profile Photo for the official Pokemon Twitter have been overtaken by Matcha releated motifs.

Tea Emoji on Tweet Reveal

The official tweet that teased the trailer had the Matcha Emoji at the end of the sentence. This, coupled with the words "a haunting tale about a Pokemon" points towards a Pokemon known for being related to tea and the supernatural.
