Strong asparagus-like aroma, but the cup is a gentle broth that’s easy to enjoy. The texture has a light touch and the flavor is more sweetly floral than the intense grassiness common to Japanese green tea. Well-made and well balanced.

“Shincha” means “New Tea” and is the first tea made from the plants after winter dormancy. “88^th Night” refers to 88 days after the first day of spring and is an auspicious day for the harvest of Shincha.
