Once again, the time has finally come for us to deliver our Hachijuhachiya Shincha this year.
Hachijuhachiya Shincha is a special new tea that heralds the arrival of early summer, picked on the eighty-eighth day after Risshun (the first day of spring).
Since ancient times, it has been said that "drinking tea picked on Hachijuhachiya brings good health and protects from illness," and it has been cherished and consumed with care.
For many years, Nakamura Chaho has offered several types of carefully selected Hachijuhachiya Shincha, delivering their seasonal aroma and flavor to customers nationwide.
However, due to the recent global increase in demand for matcha, there has been a rapid surge in domestic tea farms converting from sencha to matcha-grade tea leaves.
As a result, high-quality sencha tea leaves, like those available last year, have become extremely scarce this year.
Originally, we had hoped to offer three or more varieties of Hachijuhachiya Shincha as we have in the past, but in pursuit of satisfying quality,
this year, our tea master has carefully selected "one exquisite Hachijuhachiya Shincha" for limited sale.
