Brazilian Shincha Loose Green Tea

"Shin" means new and "cha" means tea. Shincha is the first harvest of sencha green tea and ours was harvested this Fall from our tea gardens in Brazil. This new tea is extremely fresh, sweet, and has a rich, concentrated flavor. The beautiful, bright green leaves produce a tea with a smooth, yet bold taste—no wonder Shincha green tea is highly sought after. Once it's sold out, it's really gone. And there won't be more of this super-fresh tea available until next year.
