It is produced from the Saemidori (75%) and Yabukita (25%) cultivars. Another factor contributing to its fine, unique taste is the shading of the tea plants for a period of 14 to 20 days before the harvest. Harvested between April 19 and April 29, 2026, only the three youngest leaves (two leaves and a bud) are picked, after which processing takes place immediately and the tea is flown to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first look at the dark green needles of the Shincha is already promising. And this promise is not disappointed. Juicy and fruity, yet at the same time mild and enveloped in umami, the Shincha Kirisakura offers a complex taste experience that will shape future expectations of green tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend brewing this fine green tea multiple times, as it by no means loses its aroma after the first infusion. After repeated infusions, its sensory focal points shift, allowing different nuances of the Shincha to be explored. One option is to increase the temperature of each subsequent infusion by approximately 5°C. Everyone can decide for themselves how often to repeat this, but we recommend at least three infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 8px; margin: 12px 0 28px 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan style=\"background: #f8f3ed;
