What is shincha?

Shincha means nothing other than ‘new tea’. The first spring harvests of the year are labelled as such, which is why a shincha is always a ‘first flush’.

What characterises our Shincha?

We have been sourcing our two classics from a small tea factory in Kagoshima Prefecture for many years. The tea bushes grow in long rows at an altitude of 700 metres within sight of the Kirishima volcano and are shaded before harvesting. This process gives the leaves a dark green colour and intense sweetness.

Preparing tea in the Kyûsu

In contrast to the large-volume teapot with a capacity of 1-1.5 litres preferred in this country, small side-handle teapots are used in Japan. These only hold 100-300 ml of water and are therefore perfect for multiple infusions. You can find out exactly how multiple infusions with the Kyûsu work and more about the history of this special form of tea preparation in the Tea Taster blog post by our Japan expert Lukas Parobij.

Tea cups from the Japanese master

This extraordinary tea cup was made exclusively for TeeGschwendner by the Japanese master potter Umehara Hirotaka. The cup is characterised by its irregular decoration on the outside, which is reminiscent of pine bark and therefore bears the name ‘Matsukawa’. The embossed stripes on the surface give the cup an interesting feel and emphasise its unique craftsmanship.

The stylish design of the Tea Cups harmonises perfectly with our exclusive Kyûsu teapots, which have the same characteristic decoration and form a beautiful ensemble together with the Tea Cups.
