Uji Shincha
NEW HARVEST 2022
The first flush, or first harvest, is known as ichibancha, which produces sencha shincha, meaning “new tea” and is only available once a year. It is made from the very youngest leaves, loaded with nutrients that fed and protected the tea plants as they grew throughout winter. The first infusion offers a fresh and slightly fruity fragrance with a very long, sweet aftertaste. From the second infusion, richer floral aromas appear, with a lot more body and just a little astringency.
Brew: Measure 2g (1 teaspoon) per 200ml cup. Infuse at 65°C for 1 minutes.
* This year’s harvest will ship from approximately mid to late May.
