Charaku Fine Japanese Tea
Hachijyuhachiya (88th Night) Sencha; Kobayashi, Miyazaki, 50g - 2023 SHINCHA
Origin: Kobayashi, Miyazaki Prefecture, Kyushu
Cultivar: Yabukita
The annual tea harvest in Japan begins 88 days after Risshun, the start of spring on the traditional Japanese calendar. Drinking tea picked on this day has always been considered auspicious and believed to bring good health throughout the year. Often reserved for family and friends, this tea has naturally limited availability. Charaku Fine Japanese Tea is pleased to offer Hachijyuhachiya Sencha this year! This asamushi (light-steamed) sencha from Kobayashi in eastern Miyazaki is smooth with low astringency. We hope it brings you health and good fortune this year!
