Hekisuien Matcha from the first harvest of the year
Seasonal matcha offer available during the Shincha Season, from the end of May until the end of July.
Shincha Matcha is made of carefully hand-picked, fresh Tencha leaves, ground with a traditional granite stone mill.
TASTING NOTES
Its exceptionally high quality and fascinating aroma make this tea absolutely outstanding. It offers a heady, creamy-smooth aroma, with the full-bodied, velvety accent of fresh cream lingering on your tongue for a long, enjoyable time. It has a complex, soothing flavor, devoid of any astringency or sharpness.
In its character, Shincha Matcha slightly resembles Hekisuien's other top favorites, Tenko and Shiro no Kotobuki. Whether you prepare it as usucha or koicha, Shincha Matcha is an indulging treat.
Please note, that Sazen Tea does not keep this product in stock. We get all matcha and tea powder fresh from the factories only after an order is placed for it on our website, and this process can take a few days. Thank you for your patience!

❖ Before Step 1, warm up the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it with a cloth to create the perfect temperature so make the most delicious matcha with a fresh scent while preparing. (Optional)
❖ To prevent clotting of the matcha powder, sift it through a fine strainer before use. (Strongly recommended)
❖ After the matcha is done, drink it immediately, because as it cools down it gets more and more bitter. (Recommended)
❖ Freshness is the most important thing for the enjoyment of Matcha. It is best to use up the tea within one month of opening. (Strongly recommended)

Very pleasant, full-bodied matcha. I experimented with the temperature a little. With 85+ degrees water, it is sweet and completely free of any tartness. There is some mild astringency with lower, 75 degrees water, but the tea is extra nutty and very creamy, which is a big plus for me. Highly recommended!

I was pretty disappointed with this one. As a disclaimer, it does much better at higher water temps, around 85°C, below this and it gains a bitterness in the back of the palate that takes over the taste and lingers longer than it should. At higher temps, this bitterness fades but so does the taste. There IS a slight snappy green taste reminiscent of grass and snap peas and it's juxtaposed well by a taste of farm fresh greens that lingers near the front of the tongue, but there's a medicinal bitterness that sits at the back of the throat regardless how it is brewed that takes over and masks this taste. It's just at higher temps, it's more tolerable. This is a matcha I've spent many bowls trying to chase a certain "sweet spot" of flavor that tastes like it SHOULD be there, but it never comes to fruition.

Not bad but a little less exciting than I expected. The flavor did not have a lot of depth and it was slightly bitter.
