Marukyu Koyamaen Limited Edition Shincha( Hatsu Kaori- 初薰)

Descriptions:

Seasonal Shincha | First Harvest | Uji, Japan

Hatsu Kaori (初薰) is the superior grade of shin matcha produced with the freshest round of harvest in May. Shin matcha is not produced by many tea producers, which requires them to take the harvest and process them early to release the market. It is a rare, limited chance to try this tea!

Shincha is made of freshest batch of harvest, so carrying more nutrients & flavour. The shin matcha of 2024 comes with the usual bright fresh green colour with less grassy note than predecessors, carrying a short note of bitterness, followed by a strong, smooth astringent, with a subtle umami and longing aftertaste.

❖ 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)
