※Shipping Start from Mid-May [Shincha] Yame Tea (Yamecha) Premium Sencha Hoshino Tea Amashizuku’s First Picking (Hatsuzumi), Eighty-Eight Nights (Hachijuhachiya), Tenju

Description

Shincha is a type of Japanese green tea made from the season’s first harvest. It has a delicate, fresh flavor and is highly prized for its quality. The tea harvested on the “Hachiju-Hachiya” day, which is eighty-eight days after the beginning of spring, has been cherished as a symbol of longevity and good fortune since ancient times. It is considered a precious new tea associated with the blessings of eternal youth and longevity.

“天雫” (Amashizuku) refers to the blessings from the sky, encompassing the natural forces and gifts that contribute to the cultivation of tea. The term “天” (Ten) symbolizes nature and the sun, which sculpt the soil and terrain ideal for tea cultivation, creating the perfect conditions for tea through rain and morning mist. “雫” (Shizuku) signifies the blessings from the heavens, including rain and morning mist, representing the nourishment that comes from above.

The Amashizuku series from Yame Tea, specifically the Hoshino Tea from Yame, Fukuoka, is the result of these natural forces and blessings, combined with the dedication of producers to improve quality and their skilled techniques.

The rich natural surroundings of Hoshino Village cultivate tea with a deep sweetness and a rich aroma, offering a unique and unparalleled taste experience.

Matcha / Green tea is fine for one or two years if kept in the refrigerator. If kept in the freezer, its freshness will be preserved indefinitely. However, if left in a cool, dark place, the color and taste will change in 3-4 months, especially in the summer. Also, even if kept in the refrigerator, Matcha / Green tea easily absorbs scents, so please be careful not to store it with strong-smelling items as the smell may transfer. Therefore, the expiration date is just a “guide” when stored in a cool, dark place.
