This is a nice, tasty shincha with a lovely golden appearance that greens with each successive steep. It has a unique flavor & nice fresh scent. Love the sweetness & vegetal overtones. Not noticeably acidic as the literature claims. Will re-order again next year.
Try ice brewing Light flavor, pleasant wheaty aroma, sour doughy, tingly on the mouth. Cardboard mouth, subtly bold, reids, dry grass. 5g 12 min 40C° : Rich yellow liquor, warm toasted wheat, FULL OF DANCING ANTIOXIDANTS, feel that intense zing. Minerals, licking rocks, limestone, smells of warm bread, reminds me of alishan cream Oolong in smell but not in taste. Im drinking Volcanic rock and chlorophyll! 60C° for a little too long Barbequed soured zucchinis, not entirely unpleasant though.. Koridashi Ice Brewed (4hrs, 6g on ice mound) Like biting ito one of those seedy dark brown circle crackers, green pumpkin seeds Sugarless raisin bran, roasted brown cereals
Bright, almost fizzy, spring tea, light flavor but it compiles into more vibrancy the deeper you brew it. It smells of sourdough and tastes of cabbage, that mild sweetness and drying of a cabbage vein.
Tanegashima Shincha is a true gift. It has a light body but a grassy and persistent vegetal profile. The minerality and sweetness are well balanced with the vegetal side. Second and third brewing are as rich as the first one! Recommend to brew it in a not glazed tokoname clay teapot.
Let's dive into the art of tea with the brand new Shincha 2024, from the prized Saemidori cultivar (one of my favorites), prepared using the unique Kori Dashi technique, the Japanese infusion with ice! As the leaves slowly open, they give off a fresh, herbaceous aroma evocative of high mountain meadows. At the sip, the taste is equally fresh, herbaceous but with fruity notes, offering a thick and slightly sticky texture in the mouth. The persistence is surprising, so much so that it makes the taste buds "fizz" at the sides of the mouth, giving a sensation similar to the one you get after tasting a fresh nectarine.

Wow, The new Saemidori Shincha from Tanegashima is truly amazing! First the smell is so strong of freshness and when it was in the kyusu it smelled like watermelon. After pouring water, it was cereal-like smell. The flavor then when drinking in first brew full of sweetness and mild as well, ofc with the presence of freshness 😝. The second brew becomes more intense and grassy with a hint of umami like matcha! It is soooo sweet!!!! It is present in the palate and dominates it for a long time 🤤🍵. It has also a nice but not aggressive astringensy, it is so balanced with the umami and the sweetness, all of them combined make it so delicious! The third brew was alot weaker in my surprise, lol. Idk if it is a mistake of the 20 sec, but it left my palate again strong. They say, a good tea is good when it is dominant in your palate for a long time. And it is. Lol. I tried a trick to track more of the 3rd brew by eating a small amount of white cheese which is quite acidic. Almost nothing changed, just gave me a hint of the first brew. It was also the presence of freshness. The leaves after the 3rd brew started to smell like a high quality sencha, such as a fukamushi, full of grass presence. I used in all of my brews 60°C and 20 sec, like the package recommendation. I'll make a experiment by making a 4th brew with higher temperature, maybe 70°C~ to see if it'll extract other flavors or more aggressive astringensy 🫣. We'll see 😝. I'm surprised. Even after with high temperature it is still not that astringent with typical sencha! I was right about the temperature. Now the tea is more flavorful. Nice choice to increase the temperature! Of course it has that freshness, not that much sweet, it leaves you dryness in the 4th brew with 70°C though. After the 3rd brew, I recommend to experiment by yourself as you like!
I loved this tea! It really reminded me of a milky oolong. The flavor is so flowery and smooth

I really enjoyed this shincha! This tea is fresh, has an amazing aroma and potent flavor profile. The qi captures the essence of spring with a rising energy that clears the head. It’s also major plus that it’s organic 🙌 I will definitely grab more while I still can!
This was my favorite Shincha of the 4. A bit smoother on the palate, but still fresh and citrusy like a shincha should be
