Shincha (New Tea 新茶) is the tea taken from the very first pickings from the Sencha harvest. The season begins in April in the more southern tea-growing regions and later in May, further north. Shincha from our organic plantation will be available from late April to early May depending on the weather conditions. Our customers can pre-order here so we can reserve stock from the limited amount available.
Because the leaves are the first picked all the nutrients that are stored in the plant over the winter months are released into the first leaves. Much sweeter and floral than regular Sencha, full of aroma and grassiness.

I was previously enjoying fukamushica as my “standard” green tea. With other ocha teas in the cupboard to mix things up when I wanted different tastes. Shinca has immediately taken over for fukamushica as a smoother less bitter daily driver. Loving it
I just love the Organic Japanese Shincha First Harvest Green Tea. I look forward to starting my day with it every morning.
I am Japanese American and have lived in America all my life. My mother taught me to love the limited edition Spring harvest tea. Before I found Ocha & Co, and especially through the Pandemic years, I had to struggle to find tea with its origins in Japan and specifically the Shizoku region. What a blessing to find Ocha & Co online. Not only is their tea of the highest quality, but their service is fast and dependable. Arigato Gozimasu!
Flavorful and bright. My spouse & I agree, these are our favorites of several green teas we have been sampling from various sources. Will definitely order from Ocha again. Looking forward to our next purchase.
Enjoy this tea so much, and recently found that it was better/cheaper to buy direct rather than from the large online platform I used prior. Beautiful daily drinker. Shipping was fast.
