Shinsha Yame Premium

The freshest expression of Japanese tea artistry – from the renowned premium region of Yame.

1. The first harvest of the year, captured in a cup

The Shinsha Yame Supreme is a tea produced only once a year – at the moment of the very first spring harvest.

As the young leaves awaken from winter slumber, they develop a sweetness and tenderness that no other tea can achieve.

The aroma is fresh, lively, and intensely green, like a walk on a clear morning in the mountains of Kyushu.

The taste: deep umami, creamy sweetness, delicate leaf green, and a silky-smooth mouthfeel.

A Shinsha that carries the soul of the new year – pure, clear, and unforgettable.

 

2. Flavor profile

• Aroma: sweet-green, slightly fruity, with a fresh-floral nuance

• Taste: full-bodied, delicately umami, creamy yet light

• Texture: silky, round, and harmonious

• Finish: sweet, long-lasting, clean, and deep

This tea exhibits the typical elegance and richness for which Yame is famous.
