Shincha FAQ's
What's the Difference Between Shincha新茶 And Sencha 煎茶?
All Shincha is Sencha, not all Sencha is Shincha. What's the difference?
Normally Sencha green tea is harvested 3 or 4 times per year, the first harvest being the best. Out of that first harvest, the majority is put into cold storage where it can be pulled throughout the year as needed. You can indeed have first harvest, fresh Sencha throughout the year provided it's pulled from refrigeration and has been recently packaged. There's a portion of that first harvest which never goes into storage and which is put up for immediate sale - that's is known as Shincha.
Is Shincha better than Sencha?
Not necessarily. It's true, there's not fresher green tea than Shincha. The cold storage process does change the characteristics of the tea somewhat. In some cases, for the better, in some cases not. Shincha tends to be bolder, regular Sencha mellows out a bit during the storage process. We can't say one is "better" than another. We can say that legions of customers want Shincha as soon as it comes out to enjoy the freshest of the fresh Sencha green tea.
