88th Night Shincha
The aroma of this tea is reminiscent of strong asparagus, but once you take a sip, you'll be pleasantly surprised by its gentle and enjoyable broth-like flavor. Unlike typical Japanese green tea, it has a delicate touch and a sweet floral taste rather than an overpowering grassy one. It is evident that this tea is well-crafted and perfectly balanced.
This particular batch was produced in the spring of 2023. The term "Shincha" translates to "New Tea" and signifies that it is the first tea harvested from the plants after their winter dormancy. On the other hand, "88th Night" refers to the auspicious day, 88 days after the first day of spring, when the Shincha harvest takes place.
