Primeur Shincha 2024 tea set/ Sencha Oohashiri 50g + Sencha Satsuma no Hashiri 50g

Tea buds begin to form in the fall, remain tightly closed over the winter, and open in late March and early April. The shoots have a very distinctive, sweet flavor because they contain a lot of theanine that has survived the winter. Our early green tea is carefully prepared with these early shoots.

The "Satsuma no Hashiri" tea leaves were just harvested in April in the Satsuma region (Kagoshima prefecture) on the island of Kyushu (southern Japan). The very mild climate of this Satsuma region favors the development of sweetness in its tea leaves. Light and refreshing, it develops a pleasant aroma of young leaves and evokes renewal. Its tasting gives a sensation of freshness and tonicity, with a lot of umami . This tea rich in flavors is perfect to end a large meal.

The "Oo Hashiri" tea leaves were harvested around mid-April 2024 in the Satsuma region (Kagoshima Prefecture) on the island of Kyushu (southern Japan). The very mild climate of this Satsuma region favors the development of sweetness in the tea leaves. "Oo Hashiri" tea is the first of the year and the fresh taste of the young leaves will be more pronounced in the mouth.

Oo Hashiri green tea is only available during the prime season. We only have 50 bags of Oo Hashiri green tea.
