Uji Shincha…
I wasn’t going to add anymore shincha to the lineup but after receiving a sample from the good folks at the Tsuen tea shop in Uji I have changed my mind. We carry hand picked gyokuro but this is the first time I’ve carried a hand picked Uji shincha. The loose leaf in dark green, shiny, and has a very nice grassy aroma.
Upon brewing, it also has a wonderful emerald green color which starts off clear and ends up slightly cloudy in a good way.
Yes, it’s a tad expensive, which is to be expected of anything hand picked in Japan. That said, no machine can pick select leaves the way a human can so if you are looking for the best green tea Japan has to offer, you may want to consider this.
