Beginner Matcha Kit with Hachi Matcha Shincha

Want to try matcha? This is a great starter kit. Receive a sieve, electric whisk and 40 cups of Hachi Matcha Shincha (40g).  

For a very limited time, get this refreshing, exhilarating ichibancha (new tea leaves) matcha. EXCLUSIVELY AT JUST MATCHA!

Hachi Matcha Shincha comes from the rolling hills of Uji, Kyoto, Japan. Ichibancha, is the first picked tea of the year. Similar to the Beaujolais Nouveau of French wine, the name Shincha celebrates the first tea harvest of the year. Matcha is usually not ground immediately after harvest, instead, it is “rested” for a period of many months to mature. Shincha is the opposite, it’s ground as soon as possible after it has been picked, steamed, dried, de-veined and de-stemmed. 

Just Matcha has been importing Shincha Matcha for 7 years now; it has always been slightly different, and it has always been excellent. The fresh, lively sweet aroma and taste will blow your mind. This limited edition matcha goes quickly and once it's gone, we have to wait another year. See what the buzz is all about. You will not be disappointed.

Hachi Matcha Shincha 2021

Deep Umami which evolves and lingers on the palate.  Grassy aroma with deep vegetal flavors evoking images of a wildflower meadow after a rainfall.  Very unique!

First tasting: Deep velvet mouthfeel with a taste that develops and deepens over time.

Second tasting: Reveals a delicate sweetness while the long dry finish remains. Does not have the young effervescence of previous years, but makes up for it with a finish that just goes on and on.  

Third tasting: As the beverage cools, the umami really stands out, sweet savory while the finish remains long and dry. 

Final tasting: Brings out more umami but more savory than sweet and the finish goes on and on and on...

A truly magnificent matcha.

Region: Uji, Kyoto, Japan
