Before the first harvest, the tea plants were shaded with nets for 14 to 20 days, which gives the leaves their characteristic umami. It was harvested between April 25 and April 29, 2026. The Shincha Shimoyama is composed of two different cultivars: Meiryoku (62%) and Yabukita (38%).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven in its dry state, the deep green, needle-like leaf releases a distinctive umami base note, which becomes even more pronounced on the palate. This is complemented by multifaceted notes reminiscent of fresh grass and spinach, along with a slight hint of seaweed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend steeping this fine green tea multiple times, as it certainly does not lose its aroma after the first infusion. With 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 about 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;
