This Spring, journey to an exquisite tea garden in Japan and allow TWG Tea to whisk you away to the verdant terrains of the Kagoshima Prefecture with the highly anticipated 2023 Sencha Nouveau.
A harbinger of Spring, Sencha Nouveau, or Shincha Sencha, is symbolic of the first flush of the year. This single-estate tea reflects the mastery of our tea artisans – further embodying the art of tea production and a lifestyle of tea appreciation and refinement – that marries tradition and modernity. Harvested in the month of May, this exceptional Japanese green tea is the result of a special cultivation method, kabuse cha; as well fukamushi cha, a deep steaming process that yields a bamboo cup with a hint of ooi-ka.
A defining characteristic of Sencha Nouveau – the infusion begins with the sensual warmth of a brilliant jade cup. The clean base is then lifted by enveloping muscatel and vegetal notes; each sip is anchored by a hint of umami with a creamy, addictive trail – for unexpected encounters in a teacup.
