Shincha Yume 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Dosage 1 tsp (level to heaped)

Water temperature 55-70°

Infusions 4

Brewing time 30-60 sec

Suitable for cold brew

For this year, we have combined the characteristically dreamlike, elegant fragrance of (‘Dream Aroma’) with the delicately aromatic sweetness of the cultivar. Yume has a brilliant green liquor and is, once again this year, a treat for all the senses!

Special features

Shincha – the ‘new tea’ – heralds the start of the tea season every spring. It is the first tea made from the delicate, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested as early as mid-April in Kagoshima’s subtropical climate.

To capture the fresh aroma as effectively as possible, Shincha is dried slightly more gently in the final processing stage than is usually the case with Sencha, giving the teas a special freshness that is particularly pronounced in Shincha Yume. Cultivars: 90% Yume Kaori from the KEIKO Organic Farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) 10% Sae Midori from Yamaguchi-san (Osumi)

Kabusecha is a green tea produced by shading the tea plants for 7–10 days prior to harvesting, which results in a high content of chlorophyll and other active compounds whilst minimising the formation of bitter substances. Its characteristic ‘shade-grown aroma’ is known as ‘Ooika’.

Incidentally, early harvests such as Shincha Yume also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in their sweetish flavour.

Preparation

For Shincha Yume, we recommend a shorter steeping time of 40 seconds and a temperature of 65–70°C to allow the fragrance and velvety texture to fully develop. Allow the first infusion to steep for about 1 minute. After that, a few seconds are sufficient to draw out the leaves’ aroma.

For the final infusion, you can increase the steeping time slightly to coax out every last bit of flavour. Should the tea still turn out stronger than desired, the intensity of the flavour can be easily adjusted by adding a little more water.

Intensively steamed early-harvest teas are particularly well suited to cold infusions (Mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Yume develops a particularly silky texture and refreshing clarity after just about 5 minutes of steeping. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter compounds do not dissolve as strongly in cold water.

Storage

To preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.

Ingredients:	100%Kabusecha(green tea) from certified organic cultivation
Origin:	Japan -Kagoshima
Degree of steaming:	Fukamushi- deeply steamed
Dregree of shading:	Half shade (7 - 10 days)

Green tea preparation

Prepare

Provide one cup with a capacity of 80 to 100 ml per person. Depending on the variety, let the boiled water cool down to 80° to 60°C. To do so, pour the water into a cooling bowl or directly into the cups to cool, which also pre-warms them.

Dose

Add one level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay teapot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Let the first infusion steep for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour

If the tea is served to several people, first pour only a little tea into each cup and then top them up in reverse order. This way the tea is equally strong in all cups. The pouring motion gradually gives the tea its proper green colour. Also pour out the last “golden” drops to prevent the tea from over-steeping.

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet is often served with the unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Let it steep for only about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already expanded and releases its ingredients more quickly. Serve promptly all round.

Traumhaft gut

Ich freue mich jedes Jahr wieder auf den Shincha Yume. Auch dieses Jahr mit neuem Blend wieder ein Genuß. Am besten frühmorgens in aller Stille genießen.

Ausnahmetee

Der Shincha Yume ist ein Ausnahmetee und entspricht der Shop-Beschreibung vollkommen. Aus meiner Sicht beträgt die optimale Aufgusstemperatur 60 Grad bei halbminütiger Ziehzeit. Dieser Shincha verdient eine stille Umgebung und friedliche Atmosphäre, in der er seine erhebende und stärkende Wirkung entfalten kann.

CylindricalKyusu teapot

Small cylindrical kyusu in dark aubergine-colored clay with a silky-matte surface and integrated fine-mesh stainless steel strainer, which is also ideal for fine-particle teas such as fukamushicha.  Japanese Kyusu side handle teapots are ideal for preparing green tea. The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot and are held back in the pot by the integrated sieve in front of the spout during infusion.  The filling quantity of the pot should be selected so that the tea can be completely distributed over the cup(s) provided and no water remains in the pot. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply brewed again briefly with water for further infusions. This pot is ideal for one person. However, for particularly fine teas that are enjoyed in very small bowls, the pot can also be used for two people.  Dimensions Maximum filling quantity: 150 ml Practical filling quantity: 125 ml For 1-2 people  Variations  Please note that the shape, color and size of the tea ceramics may vary slightly, especially with handmade pieces like this one! Please do not exert unnecessary pressure on the metal strainers and do not try to remove them The soft mouthpiece is intended as protection during transportation. It can be removed when using the teapot. It is not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave usage. For everyday cleaning, simply tap out the tea grounds and rinse with clean water. Please avoid dishwasher detergent or bicarbonate soda as these can leave stains on the surface of the teapot.

Filter-in green bottle - Drinking bottle, small “Smokey Green”, 300ml

The small "Filter-in green bottle" drinking bottle with integrated strainer for preparing cold infusions in the color "Smokey Green" Filling quantity: 300 ml  Ideal for preparing cold infusions of green tea - for a rich but mild aroma. Practical: when brewed cold, the sweetness of the L-theanine in the green tea comes into its own, while the bitter substances remain in the background even after a long brewing time. You can therefore simply store your Mizudashi green tea in the fridge - it will stay fresh, green and mildly aromatic for hours!  Depending on the type of tea, a few minutes are sufficient for infusion, for example KEIKO Shincha Yume (Fukamushi). For less steamed teas or herbal infusions, a longer infusion time of several hours is recommended.  Thanks to the heat-resistant glass, the bottle is also suitable for hot infusions - make sure that only as much water is poured in as is needed so that the tea does not continue to infuse in the bottle. Do not shake the bottle during preparation, but only turn or swirl it carefully, otherwise the tea leaves may slip past the integrated sieve. Tip: Serve cold-brewed green tea from the bottle with food in wine glasses as an alternative to wine.

Cold brewer "ooika"

Item No. 42200 The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika. The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel. To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready. The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up. Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency. Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!

Shincha Set 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Shincha Set 2026 The feeling of spring in your cup! Shincha - the "new tea" heralds the beginning of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima after a shading period of 7-10 days as early as mid-April. In order to capture the fresh aroma in the best possible way, Shincha is dried somewhat lighter in the final processing step than is usually the case with Sencha. In Japanese tea houses and stores, the arrival of fresh Shincha is awaited with great anticipation, and long lines often form when the time comes. In Kagoshima, a big shincha event is held every year, where you can taste and buy shinchas from different farmers and companies to your heart's content. Depending on the cultivar used, the weather conditions, the time of harvest and the processing, even two shinchas from the same garden can turn out completely different. This results in new exciting tea experiences every year. The 3 KEIKO Shinchas give a good impression of this range of flavors. With their fragrance and taste, they take us to very different scenarios - what they have in common is the fresh spring feeling. The Shincha Set contains 50g each of Shincha Classic, Shincha Yume and Aracha Shincha as well as a Tea Tasting Notes Journal.

Shincha Classic 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

The Yutaka Midori cultivar gives Shincha Classic its distinctive fresh, green aroma and rich colour. The combination with a share of the exquisite Sae Midori cultivar results in a full-bodied, mellow flavour with subtle umami, a hint of fruitiness and a gentle astringency. Special features Shincha - the ‘new tea’ heralds the start of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima as early as mid-April.  In order to capture the fresh flavour in the best possible way, shincha is dried a little more lightly in the final processing stage than is usual for sencha. Cultivars:80% Yutaka Midori from the KEIKO Organic Farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) and from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma) 20% Sae Midori from the Komaki brothers (Minami Satsuma)Early harvests such as Shincha Classic also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Preparation We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60-65°C. Allow the first infusion to infuse for about 1 minute. A few seconds are then enough to extract the flavour from the leaves. For the last infusion, you can increase the infusion time again to tease out all the flavour. If the tea still turns out stronger than desired, the flavour intensity can be slightly adjusted by adding a little more water. Deep steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Classic develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity of flavour after just 5 minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water.Storage To preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.

Aracha Shincha 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Aracha Shincha brings the uniquely green, fresh Ooika aroma of raw Aracha tea to Europe. With its wild, intensely green and grassy scent of freshly harvested tea fields, it conjures up the essence of spring right into our cups, offering a taste that is as close as possible to the tea plant’s natural flavour. This year, for the first time as a single-variety tea from the Sae Midori cultivar – a variety known for its beautiful liquor colour and sweet aroma, and therefore often used for high-quality tea, Gyokuro or Matcha. Special Features Shincha (the ‘new tea’) is made from the first tender leaves of spring - a vintage tea from the first early picking in April, which surprises with its fresh flavour every year. Aracha is a partially processed green tea, which is reflected in its original, natural flavour. When tasting the raw teas directly after harvesting, they are brewed in particularly high doses and hot in order to savour the special characteristics of the tea. The higher infusion temperature (around 70°C) also brings out the flavour of this tea particularly well - let yourself be whisked away to the tea gardens of Kagoshima with the intense grassy aroma of freshly steamed tea leaves! Cultivar: 100% Sae Midori by Kawaji-san in HiokiLike many KEIKO teas, this tea is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). The gentle steaming opens the leaf pores and the extracts are released from the tea leaf into the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognised by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea. Early harvests such as Aracha Shincha also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Aracha is not yet ‘sorted’ as a raw tea - it therefore still contains some larger leaves as well as very fine bits of the leaves.PreparationTo emphasise the fresh fragrance, the infusion temperature can be set a little higher at 65-75°C.. Intensely steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Classic develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity after just a few minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water.Storage Please note that Shincha Aracha is a raw tea and less dried than all other KEIKO teas. Aracha should therefore be enjoyed fresh and not stored for too long - we have set the best before date for this tea at 6 months from production here in Diepholz; we store it frozen! We therefore recommend closing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer to preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible.
