Description
Jade green, velvety matcha from the first harvest. Elegant sweetness, fresh umami and a soft, floral finish, perfect for drinking pure.
Every spring, for just a few weeks, the first leaves of the tea plant emerge after a long winter. Those first leaves - the shincha - hold everything the plant has built up throughout the year: sweeter, richer in umami and more vibrant in colour than anything harvested later.
The Okumidori cultivar grows on small family farms in the Wazuka region, Japan. Stone-ground. Shaded for four weeks before harvest to boost chlorophyll and L-theanine.
Why First Harvest?
The first harvest of the season, also known as shincha - yields the most delicate leaves with the richest flavour and highest concentration of L-theanine. At Namacha Matcha, we use only these top-grade leaves.
