Shincha or "new tea" is the very first harvest of the spring season. At this exciting time of year, the tea trees across Japan come out of their winter dormancy and draw up the nutrients that have been stored in their roots all winter long. The tender spring buds are lush with spring charm and fresh, invigorating energy. This year we are delighted to bring you four of the most exclusive shincha micro-lots directly from tea gardens across Kagoshima, Japan.
