Asanoka Shincha 2025

In the green mountain valleys of Shizuoka, the first leaves of the year are being picked, and in the air there is something invisible but tangible – a promise. That promise is captured in every cup of Asanoka Shincha 2025. As the tea brews, it spreads a scent of newly awakened spring, fresh as the morning after a gentle rain, with a gentle note of sun-ripened citrus. The leaves, lightly steamed and rolled with a gentle hand, bear traces of nature's rhythm. The taste is vibrant yet soft: grassy and full-bodied, balanced by a subtle sweetness, before retreating into a clear and fresh finish. Shincha “freshly harvested tea” is more than just a name. Here it feels as if spring itself dissolves in the water. A tea to drink slowly, as a reminder that every beginning holds its own quiet beauty.
