Made only from tender new buds picked around Hachijuhachiya, the 88th night after the start of spring.

Its lush, green "shincha" aroma and subtle sweetness make it a much-appreciated gift.

How to brew (for two)

  1. Put 6 g of leaves (two heaped teaspoons) into a kyusu teapot.
  2. Pour freshly boiled water into a cooling bowl and let it cool to about 70–80°C.
  3. Add 140 ml of water and steep for about 60 seconds.
  4. Pour alternately into two cups, a little at a time, until the very last drop.

For a second infusion, use hotter water and pour straight away to enjoy how the aroma changes.
