SPECIAL PRICE FOR THE LAST EVER WINTER SENCHA
This is a preorder item for collection or postage from early December.

This year 2026 is the very last release of winter sencha; Fuyu no Hana. To celebrate and say farewell to one of the most exciting teas of the year and our absolute favourite seasonal releases, we are selling this tea this year at very very minimal profit. We hope that this rare hand finished tea will be able to reach as many people as possible and want to show support to our long term mentor Yamaguchi san, the 10th rank chashi behind this tea. Coinciding with the last year of Cha-ology, it is extra meaningful to us that we will also be saying goodbye to Fuyu no Hana.

What is special about this tea?
The leaves were picked during shincha season (first harvest) in late April/early May, and vacuumed to store at -30°C, for the period of ageing known as jukusei. In addition to being aged, the last stage of finishing, known as hiire, is carefully done by hand on a hoiro, which is extremely rare in nowadays’ tea production.

A mouthwateringly deep and complex tea absolutely not to be missed!
