As the world transitions from the frosty embrace of winter to the gentle warmth of spring, nature unveils its most exquisite treasures. Among these treasures lies Shincha, the embodiment of freshness, vitality, and the essence of Japan's tea culture.
What is Shincha?
Shincha, meaning "new tea," marks the inception of Japan's tea harvest season. It is the first flush of green tea harvested in early spring, renowned for its tender leaves, vibrant color, and unmatched freshness. At Mukōh Matcha, we pride ourselves on sourcing the finest Shincha, handpicked from the verdant hills of Fukuoka, Japan.

Steeped in tradition and imbued with the spirit of springtime, Shincha offers a sensory journey unlike any other. From the moment you uncork the tea tin to the last sip of your cup, Shincha captivates the senses with its delicate aroma, vibrant green hue, and nuanced flavor profile.
