        Is this sincha from the 2024 harvest? Or does the 2024 harvest come in April?

        Hello,
        Shincha doesn't usually come out until late April so as of the time of your question this is from the previous season.

        Brewing kagoshima green tea in 8 oz pot, how much caffeine in 3 steepings 5ml of tea

        Kevin Moore

        About 30 mg the first steep, each time you steep the same leaves the caffeine is decreased significantly (to almost zero). Most of the caffeine is in the first infusion.

        Hi Kevin,
        If brewing time is 30 seconds what time is recommended for subsequent infusions and how many can you get?
        Thanks

        -Randy

        On the second infusion you could do 30, and from then on go 90 seconds. You should get 3 good infusions and after that they'll get progressively weaker.

        Hello!
        I am thinking about buying this shincha. Do you have certificates about test for radiation in shincha teas? I could not find them on the webpage.
        thanks!

        We used to carry certificates for the first 4 years after the disasters. However, unsafe levels of radiation were never found in any green tea from Southern Japan where this and most of our teas are produced. It is no long necessary for us to keep supplying certificates for non-existent radiation issues. Regardless, Japanese teas are still tested yearly by the Japanese government and private agencies. If there is ever an issue where radiation is found in Japanese green tea, we would resume posting test results. Until that time, we no longer post radiation certificates for any of our green teas.

        Hi,

        I just received this tea, thanks your great service as usual. I'm wondering if there's any way of telling whether I did really get the 2016 shincha version of this tea (maybe something on the packaging?).

        Thanks!

        Hi,

        Look for the sticker in Japanese with this characters: ”新茶” (Shincha)

        This is my favorite sencha. I've tried most others on O-cha, as well as a few other tea vendors like Ippodo, and I keep coming back to this. It has the perfect balance of astringency and umami, very hearty and warming taste.

        Lovely and balanced, with some sweetness at front then dry with a nutty aroma. Another reviewer mentioned chestnut, which I think is right. Wasn't very impressed with the second infusion, but will certainly be buying this again for the unique nuttiness and value.

        New to Japanese green teas, but this one has become a favorite. Thick, cloudy and an edge of bitterness. Grassy and umami. Holds up well through 3 infusions.

        Really great color. A bold tea with a slight chestnut aroma. Works great in multiple infusions.

        A good solid green tea. Overall would describe it as having a good full body through several steeps. I enjoy Sae Midori more so from a first steep standpoint, but this tea is more flexible, and tends to re-steep better. Great every day tea.

        We have made this our daily tea in the office. Pretty consistent brews, although the second infusion sometimes is a bit bitter if you give it a full 30 seconds. Overall, a great tea.

        This is an excellent daily sencha. The color, aroma and taste is always impressive to guests, and each time for me as well.

        Just finished 100g of this. My second tea after Kabusecha. It's got almost a walnut like taste in my opinion. Seems like it has a deep body and not very sweet at all like Kabusecha was.
