Japanese shincha green tea, made from the very first harvests, is the most eagerly awaited tea of the year in Japan. This 2026 vintage comes from the plantations of Yame, in the heart of Fukuoka Prefecture. This terroir, renowned for its expertise and rich soils, allows the tea plants to develop a rare intensity. In the spring, these young shoots concentrate a powerful umami and a smoothness characteristic of this region, which can be enjoyed both hot and cold.
Shincha is distinguished by a particular freshness due to its low catechin content (which causes astringency) and its richness in amino acids, particularly theanine, which accumulates during the winter due to the lack of photosynthesis.
In Japan, the arrival of shincha is a cultural event comparable to Beaujolais Nouveau in France. People follow harvest announcements; prices are higher than during the rest of the year, and drinking the first tea of the season is associated with good fortune and longevity according to popular belief.
Like cherry blossoms, shincha follows the rhythm of the seasons from south to north in Japan:
Kagoshima (Kyushu, south) · available around April 22
Yame / Fukuoka (Kyushu, central) · available around May 20
Uji (Kyoto, north-central) · available the first week of June
