It’s spring time in Japan, which means that the 2010 shincha harvest is just around corner. O-Cha.com have just started their pre-order sale, and you can get 10% off if you order now with this discount code: shincha2010.

Shincha comes from the year’s first harvest of green tea. Unlike other green teas, which are put into cold storage to maintain freshness, shincha is packaged immediately and sold as quickly as possible. It truly is the freshest of the fresh.

Last year, Bec and I tried O-Cha’s Yutaka Midori, which was exceptional. I think this year we’ll be getting that one again, as well as one or two other ones. There are eleven shinchas to choose from this year:

• Uji Asamushi Sencha “Kirameki” – $37.95
• Kagoshima Sencha Sae Midori – $24.95
• Kagoshima Sencha Yutaka Midori – $24.95
• Fukamushi Sencha Supreme – $22.95
• Shizuoka Sencha “Hatsumi” – $22.95
• Kabusecha – $18.95
• Chiran Sencha – $17.95
• Organic Sencha “Fuushun” – $17.95
• Organic Sencha “Oku Yutaka” – $17.95
• Organic Asamushi Sencha – $14.95
• Organic Sencha “Ooigawa Supreme – $14.95

The pre-order sale online April 21, so if you want to save yourself some money, go to O-Cha now and get your orders in early.

You can also browse O-Cha teas in the Tea Finely Brewed Marketplace.
