Shincha is a highly anticipated Japanese Matcha made from the first harvest of tea leaves after the dormant winter months. The name Shincha, derived from "shin" meaning new and "cha" meaning tea, refers to the fresh and unique qualities of this limited edition tea. Our tea farm in Uji, Kyoto produces a limited amount of Shincha each year, allowing us to offer this unique tea to our customers. While Shincha harvesting begins in the middle of April in some regions like Kagoshima and Shizuoka, in Uji, Kyoto, it starts in early May due to differences in altitude and soil affecting sprout timing. If you haven't tried Shincha before, you might be wondering why it's such a big deal. The
