Ohmi Hatsutsumi Shincha

Green tea from the first harvest of the year, 2022

Tea from Kōka, a city in south-eastern part of Shiga prefecture.
100% from Yabukita, Japan's most well-known tea variant.

After the tea leaves are picked, they are only steamed for 20 seconds, and then dried at 80℃ for 30 minutes. This short and gentle processing helps the leaves keeping their lush freshness.

A great balance of sweetness and astringency characterize this tea. The aftertaste is fresh and herbal.
While many shincha are soft green, this tea is golden, a typical shade for this varietal, also called as "Yamabukiiro" in Japanese.

Limited edition, available until the end of June or until stocks hold.
Harvested: 23, April 2022
