Pre-order Shincha Now Available
Each year we are excited to taste shincha, our special release of freshly harvested sencha tea. Its youthful energy is distinct from the mature character of our regular sencha brands.
Only a limited quantity of shincha is produced, and we sell out every year, so pre-order to secure your taste of this special tea.
How does it taste?
Verdant fragrance and energetic flavour full of vitality. The taste of spring, with the lingering bittersweetness that is characteristic of buds.
How/when to enjoy it?
Prepare it anyway you like—with freshly boiled hot water, hot water that has been cooled slightly, or cold brew it with chilled water. Fully savour the taste of each year’s shincha while the season lasts.
What to enjoy it with?
Vegetables that express verdant freshness, like broad beans or asparagus. Or perhaps foods associated with refreshing fragrances, like lemon cake.
How do Ippodo staff enjoy it?
During the tea season, recharge yourself every day with shincha—from the time you wake in the morning until the time in the evening when you need to make one final push. It packs so much energy that getting to sleep can be hard if you drink too much at night.
