Product description
Shincha is a tea that represents the beginning of the picking season in Japan, it is also called the first green of spring. It is the tea that Japanese people are willing to queue up for. It is harvested in mid-April and usually arrives to Europe in mid-May. It is only available for a couple of months because it is not stored like other teas. It is a slightly dried tea, it has a very fresh aroma and a stronger taste. Tea plants rest over the winter and accumulate nutrients, which are released to a greater extent in the spring into the newly formed leaves and buds.
At Cha Tea House, we try to select tea from the best tea garden every season. This year we decided on a full shade gyokuro type tea with the characteristic fresh, "umami" aroma of shincha tea. It comes from Kagoshima Prefecture and is produced from a relatively new and highly prized Tsuyuhikari cultivar. The tea leaves from these cultivar are picked early in the season, before the others. The taste of the prepared tea is fresh and floral. It has a high caffeine content, making it the perfect drink for anyone looking for a strong green tea with a full aroma.
A Japanese proverb says that if you drink fresh shincha tea on the 88th day after the spring equinox, you will stay healthy for the whole year :-).
The tea is packed in a beautiful bag, 50g each.
YEAR 2025.
Tip: Shincha tea is especially suitable for making iced tea. With it, we conjure up a very refreshing and invigorating summer drink. Pour a double scoop of tea with water at room temperature and steep it for 20 to 30 minutes. Strain and serve in chilled glasses with plenty of ice.
