A seasonal favorite, our Sencha 88 Kin is a fragrant Uji Shincha crafted from tea leaves picked around Hachijūhachi-ya—the 88th day after the start of spring—when the balance of aroma and flavor is at its peak. This is our most popular Shincha of the year.
Celebrate the Peak of Tea Season
Once a year, the tea fields come alive with the arrival of shincha, Japan’s first harvest of the season. Among these, Uji Shincha stands out for its exceptional fragrance and flavor—especially when harvested during the ideal window of Hachijūhachi-ya, which falls on May 1 this year.
About Sencha 88 Kin
Crafted with the utmost care, Sencha 88 Kin is a blend of young, tender leaves picked at the height of freshness. We preserve the tea's natural aroma by minimizing damage to the leaves and applying a gentle, low-temperature roast to enhance its delicate flavor.
The result is a clear, golden-green liquor with a gentle steam aroma and a rich umami that spreads across the palate. It’s a tea that embodies the elegance and craftsmanship of Uji—and one we proudly recommend.
