Organic Shincha First Crop Green Tea

ORGANIC SHINCHA FIRST FLUSH GREEN TEA

Shincha (New Tea 新茶) is the tea taken from the very first pickings from the Sencha harvest. The season begins in April in the more southern tea growing regions and later in May, further north. Shincha from our organic plantation will be available late April to early May depending on the weather conditions. Our customers can pre-order here so we can reserve stock from the limited amount available.

Because the leaves are the first picked al the nutrients stored over the winter months and released into the first leaves. Much sweeter than regular Sencha, full of aroma and grassiness.

Absolutely Perfect

This tea was one of the finest green teas I tried. It was, however, quite hard to differentiate from Gyokuro tea, which is the best lot in Green teas section. I have found that cold brewing works great for this tea - it is so rich that it can be brewed 3-4 times with high quality still water - and makes an outstanding cold tea for a hot summer day. Ordinary hot brewing also gives a great tea experience. Overall, a very special and delicate tea, very satisfied with this product, 5/5!
