Japanese Sencha Shincha Green Tea from Wazuka, Uji

Picked between 27th April-3rd May from Minamiyama Shiromura Gardens. Our Sencha Shincha green tea was picked during the first month's harvest of Sencha. Little of the first month's harvest is available outside of Japan and we were only able to secure 1kg of this extremely special tea.

Our Sencha Shincha green tea is characterised by a light and bright sweetness and pronounced spring flower aroma. Shincha retains these flavours in abundance until the end of June after which it takes on a more robust and mature flavour as it ages.

We recommend making the most of this tea while it is at its freshest, throughout June.

Due to the quality of the leaf, this Sencha can be infused 4-5 times.
