Shincha 新茶
新 new · 茶 tea
Shincha is the first flush of the season's tea harvest in Japan, picked in early May. Young tea leaves are carefully plucked by hand and delicately processed to maintain their unique flavor and aroma.
The leaves are tender, vibrant, and alive with freshness. Visiting a tea garden during shincha harvest offers soft rustling leaves, a gentle tea fragrance, and calming stretches of green.
