Temomi Shin Cha is a rare tea. Picking of tea leaves, steaming, kneading and drying, they are all done by hands; and it was a common method centuries ago. Today machine has replaced the labor and this Temomi technique is vanishing. If you would like to try the truly traditional taste of green tea, this is definitely your choice.

Hashiri means “early season” in Japanese. Our Hashiri Shin Cha is produced from very young leaves harvested at the end of April. These early-season leaves are very soft and contain a lot of sweetness. This is the taste of spring.

Hachiju Hachiya means "88 nights," and refers to the eighty-eighth day after the first day of spring on the traditional Japanese calendar. It is believed that the 88th day is the best time to pick tea, and Hachiju Hachiya Shin Cha is prized as high-quality green tea.
