Meet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS. Enjoy pure, natural flavors with every sip, knowing you’re supporting sustainable farming practices.
From the fields of family-operated tea farm, Tomizawa Tea Garden, a shincha shaded for about 2 weeks before early May harvest (making it a kabusecha). The Okumidori tea cultivar has been quite popular in recent years for its strong natural umami flavor (enhanced by the shading) and deep green color. With this kabusecha, a deep and soft umami flavor will be followed by a refreshing sweet aftertaste, which spreads in your mouth. This tea is recommended to be paired with Western desserts like cake.
As a steamed tamaryokucha (or guricha), the leaves are not rolled into straight needles as you would see with sencha, but rather left slightly curled by skipping the last rolling step.
