2023 Shincha

This year is sold out! But if you're looking for a delicious sencha, we recommend our organic sencha okumidori. We are thrilled to release our pick for this year's shincha! 新茶 While we were visiting our farm partners in Japan this May, we were with our friends to celebrate Hachiju Hachiya and make our selection for this year's freshest tea.  Our pick happens to be our favorite cultivar – Saemidori!  Each year, those in the know eagerly await shincha season, and we’ve picked this lot especially for our customers during our trip to Japan.  We can't wait to share this beautiful tea with you! Enjoy the special fresh-from-the-field taste. We expect this tea to move fast, so don't wait!     What is Shincha?  Shincha is the first flush, or brand new growth of young tea leaves after winter. Seeing all plants awaken after the cold months is often felt as a renewed celebration of life and its abundance – and seeing new tea sprouts emerge is no exception to bringing about celebratory feeling
