Saemidori Sencha Shincha 2025

2026 Yame Shincha – Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

2026 Yame New Harvest Tea – Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan

When people think of Yame tea, many may imagine “Kabusecha.”
Kabusecha is a style of tea cultivated under shade before harvest, where the tea plants are covered to reduce direct sunlight exposure.
This method creates a tea with rich umami and a smooth, mellow flavor.
In addition, this shincha is carefully crafted by a tea master skilled in gogumi — the traditional Japanese art of blending teas — resulting in a balanced cup with the deep, refined umami characteristic of Yame tea.
This tea is produced using a medium- to deep-steamed method.
Enjoy its vibrant green color and the fresh, refreshing aroma unique to the new tea season.
