Loose Leaf Green Teas - Shincha (New Crop 2026)

Shincha is the first tea picked in the new year, and because Kagoshima sits at the southern tip of Kyushu ours is among the earliest harvested anywhere in Japan — usually weeks before the more northern regions. It tastes noticeably fresher and sweeter than the same tea will six months later. Limited to the 2026 crop, and once a lot sells out it is gone until next spring.
