O-Cha’s Organic Sencha “Warashima Supreme” is a light-steamed shincha with a seductive aroma of white chocolate and berries and slender leaves resembling broken pine leaves. This sencha comes from Shizuoka and steeps into a mellow, light green cup, whose most dominant flavour is that of steamed spinach, accented by a hint of pepper and a slight sweetness.
Shincha 2010: Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori
Open up your packet of Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori, draw in deeply, and you’ll be hit with the heavenly aroma of extraordinary tea: forest freshness, met by the syrupy sweetness of blackcurrant and the tartier overtones of tropical fruits. You only get this kind of rich aroma when the tea is this fresh ? and this good.

Bec and I received our pair of shinchas from O-Cha on Thursday: a 100 gram packet of Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori, and a 50 gram packet of Organic Asamushi Sencha.
I’ll have some reviews for you soon, but just wanted to post a quick note for those of you who haven’t ordered your fresh batch of shincha yet. Shincha is the freshest tea around at the moment, and the good stuff never lasts that long. Head over to O-Cha (my favourite supplier of Japanese green teas) and view their selection of shinchas now.
