THE VERY FIRST 2024 Kondōwase Shincha 30g

For a lover of Japanese tea who eagerly awaits the arrival of Shincha, or “new tea”, every spring, this hand-plucked delicacy from Mariko in Shizuoka Prefecture may offer the most inspiring answer. In a typical year, the plucking of this tea marks the start of the spring harvest season on Japan’s main island Honshū. Its uniqueness, however, stretches way beyond its speedy buds and the limited amount. The exquisite fusion of Shincha freshness and its gentle floral aroma truly makes it one of a kind.
