Our highly anticipated 2011 Shincha is here!!

Shincha literally means "New Tea" came from the same family of Sencha tea leaves. Shincha represents the first month's harvest of Sencha. It has a very special robust glassy flavor with minimum astringency. Very high vitamin content, and sweetness level. Exceptionally propular in Japan due to his limited availability. Harvested in the mountainous region of southern Kyoto with plentiful of natural water, rich soil and spring temperature. 

Tea Plantation:

Nagata Sencha is produced by the Nagata Family who unlike most farmers was the first to produce Organic Tea in Uji Chaen, Japan. Tea farm is located at Southern Kyoto. Instead of using fertilizers, chemical, animal manure, herbicides or pesticides to fertile their tea garden soil, the Nagatas have discovered new agricultural methods to nurture tea plant that will produce tea twice as long a period of time and twice as powerful as their nutritious value.

The Nagata Family's passion, dedication and perseverance to make the finest tea have finally paid off. Now, we can enjoy green tea from Uji's centuries old tea plantation that is respectfully referred to as Uji-Chaen.
