Shincha or "new tea" is the first harvest of the green tea growing season in Japan. This is the freshest Japanese green tea man can get because the tea is immediately processed and packed after it is picked. It is seasonal tea, available only from late April to July. I am a newbie to shincha. So I wanted to try both asamushi (light steamed) and fukamushi (deep steamed).
I pre-ordered my shincha while I was on vacation last month. Most shincha I ordered have not been released yet. So I am still waiting patiently for the following from Yuuki-cha. I cannot wait to try my first shincha!

Edit: All shinchas are in the house now and we had tried Saemidori and Tenryu Misakubo. Loved them. Hubby liked the Saemidori a lot so decided to order another package with the following order. Yes, we cannot get enough of shincha!
