Organic Superior Culinary - 100g

For Japanese green tea, harvest season is very significant. It dictates the price, nutrients, and even the taste. Our Superior Culinary Grade matcha is harvested during the first and second seasons. The first spring harvest is known to be Shincha. Shin means new and cha means tea in the Japanese language. As the word suggests, the new tea leaves are usually the most expensive and tasteful compared to the tea leaves harvested in the latter months. Containing fresh and deeper flavor, this matcha is noticeably tasteful and rich. On the other hand, the second harvest during the month of June is more robust and astringent than the first harvest.
