At last, the Shincha Harvest started just some days ago here in the Uji
region! It is a few days earlier than last year's havest, and same with
the usual time of year. It seems that this year's crops have a generous
and excellent flavor.
At the same time, some of our Shincha teas are now available. We have arranged to add four limited edition Shincha items only available this Shincha harvest season, featuring a few regular Sencha items with especially enjoyable Shincha flavor. And other Sencha regular items are planned to be replaced later by Shincha step by step.
Celebrate our first tea harvest of the year with Hibiki-an's Shincha and enjoy the remarkable fresh flavor which can only be experienced once every year!
Limited edition Shincha teas
All four Shicha teas below are limited edition of 1,200 packages each ONLY
AVAILABLE this harvest season. We have arranged various types of Shincha,
which will be specially finished to enjoy Shincha's refreshing aroma and
flavor.
We hope you will enjoy the refreshing aroma and smooth flavor of Shincha!

Organic Sencha's harvest generally starts 7 to 10 days later than conventional grown Sencha. The feature of the flavor is very simple and traditional. We imagine that the Shincha flavor enjoyed hundreds of years ago in historical Japan was just like this. Would you enjoy the simple Shincha flavor that was enjoyed long, long ago?...
