Shincha Yume 2025 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Shincha Yume 2025 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Dosage 1 TL (gestr.-geh.)

Temperature 123 55-70°

Infusions 4

Brewing time 30-60 sek

Cold infusions

A harmonious, multi-layered tea with a velvet-like soft texture, that develops into a fruity sweetness on the tongue. Enjoy thedream flavour of the Yume Kaori cultivar of this single origin, single cultivar Shincha!

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 lighter than usual for sencha in the final processing stage, giving the teas a special freshness that seems particularly pronounced in Shincha Yume.

Cultivars:

  • 100% Yume Kaori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran)
  • Kabusecha is a green tea produced by shading the tea plants for a period of 7-10 days before harvesting, which results in a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and a low level of bitterness. Their characteristic ‘shade flavour’ is called ooika. Early harvests such as Shincha Yume also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour.


Preparation

We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60°C for a particularly round, flowery flavour. Leave 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 Yume 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.

Green tea preparation instructions

Grüntee Zubereitung

Prepare

Prepare a cup for each person that has a capacity of 80 to 100 ml. Allow the boiled water to cool to 80° to 60°C, depending on the type. To do this, either put the water in a cooling bowl or pour it directly into the cups to cool, which will also preheat them.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Dose

Put a level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay pot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Allow the first infusion to brew for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Pour

If the tea is to be served to several people, first pour a little tea into each cup and then fill the cups in reverse order. This way, the tea will be the same strength in all cups. The pouring movements gradually give the tea the right green color. Pour out the last "golden" drops and prevent the tea from brewing any further.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet treat is often served with unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Only allow to steep for about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already swollen and the ingredients are released more quickly. Distribute quickly all around.

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.

Accessories

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!

Supreme - Organic Japanese Matcha
**Please note that due to high demand, there may currently be longer waiting times. For urgent orders, please select items marked with a green dot noted as “available.”**The Matcha Supreme is our mildest and yet most aromatic Matcha and is ideal for both connoisseurs and new discoverers of Matcha. It has a very intense colour and a complex scent. Matcha Supreme is characterized by its smooth, almost creamy taste and its intense yet mild aftertaste. Matcha Supreme is perfectly suited for the thick preparation as Koicha but is also a pleasure as Usucha. Genuine Japanese Matcha freshly ground in Germany The tea plants from which Matcha is made are traditionally 90% shaded. The plants develop a lot of chlorophyll, theanine and caffeine, but slightly fewer bitter substances. After steaming & drying the tea leaves, the leaf tissue is separated from the leaf veins. The delicate, flake-like leaf tissue particles are called "Tencha" and are later very slowly ground into high-quality Matcha on traditional granite stone mills. In order to preserve the sensitive ingredients in the best possible way, we at KEIKO grind the Matcha on genuine Japanese granite stone mills directly at our location in Diepholz, fresh when required. Did you know that traditional Matcha develops uniquely fine aromas, from mild and nut-like to intensive and grassy thanks to the elaborate production techniques? Storage In order to preserve the precious aromas and ingredients of Matcha in the best possible way, we recommend to seal the Matcha well and store it in a cool and dark place.

Diamond Leaf - Organic Japanese Green Tea
This spring tea is harvested in mid-April, after the first leaf buds have opened. Only the most tender leaves are used. Diamond Leaf has a rich, unforgettably fruity aroma and a lovely flowery scent that radiates anticipation as soon as the tin is opened. Kabusecha Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika". Fukamushicha   Like many KEIKO teas, this is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). Due to the gentle steaming process, the leaf pores open and the extracts from the tea leaf reach the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognized by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea - with top qualities up to 4 infusions are possible! Cold Brew       Intensively steamed early pickings are also particularly suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi or Cold Brew). By infusing the leaves with cold water you will get an intensive and refreshing tea after only a few minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable. Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we ask you to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
