This Hachiju Hachiya Shincha is a limited spring release made from the earliest first flush leaves, prized for their freshness and depth of flavor. Deep-steamed in the fukamushi style, it brews a vibrant green cup with a rich umami character, soft sweetness, and a full, rounded body that captures the energy of the new growing season.
“Hachiju Hachiya,” or “88th night,” marks a traditional point in the Japanese calendar long considered ideal for harvesting tea. Leaves picked at this time are especially tender and expressive, and shincha made from this earliest harvest has long been celebrated for its brightness and vitality. Produced in small quantities from Shizuoka, this tea offers a fleeting glimpse of spring at its peak.

Hot infusion: Use 5g (1 Tbsp) with 12 oz (350ml) at 175°F for 30-60 seconds.

This chumushi-style sencha offers a balanced, refreshing cup with a vivid vegetal aroma and a smooth, satisfying body. Made from spring and early summer leaves, it strikes a middle ground between light and deep steaming, resulting in a bright green infusion with gentle depth and a clean, lingering finish.
Steamed longer than asamushi but less than fukamushi, chumushi preserves more of the leaf’s structure while allowing for a fuller extraction. The result is a tea with both clarity and richness, an enduring style of sencha that has been enjoyed in Japan for generations.

This Reserve CollectionGift Box from Kintsugi House features two airtight tins of premium Japanese loose leaf tea, elegantly presented in a natural pine box. Part of the exclusive Reserve Tea collection, this set includes Homare Sencha and Shizuku Gyokuro—two remarkable teas that capture the depth and artistry of Japanese tea craftsmanship.
Homare Sencha is a distinctive fukamushi-style sencha crafted from the finest spring harvest Yabukita leaves sourced from Shizuoka’s renowned tea regions of Kanaya, Kawane, and Kakegawa. Known for its deep steaming and high-temperature roasting, this tea offers a rich, brothy flavor reminiscent of green beans and asparagus, balanced by a vibrant spring sweetness and a lingering finish. Skilled artisans carefully select and sort only the best leaves, removing stems and irregular pieces to ensure uniform color and even steeping. The unique roasting process, or hi-ire, intensifies the tea’s flavors without adding bitterness, resulting in a smooth, aromatic experience that can be reinfused multiple times.
Shizuku Gyokuro is a rare and traditional "Dento Hon Gyokuro" from Yame, Fukuoka, where it is grown, hand-picked, and shaded with traditional materials for at least 16 days. This meticulous process gives the tea a lush rainforest aroma with deep umami, sweet pea notes, and a full, smooth mouthfeel. The shading technique slows the conversion of L-theanine, enhancing the tea's natural sweetness and reducing astringency. The result is a gentle, refined tea with signature smoothness and subtle sweetness, perfect for multiple infusions.
This gift set is an ideal choice for tea enthusiasts or anyone wishing to explore the nuanced flavors of artisanal Japanese tea.
Contains 2 oz. (60g) Approximately 45 cups of tea if reinfused as recommended.

Kintsugi House recently attended the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas, reconnecting with tea professionals, meeting new suppliers, and learning about the trends shaping the future of tea. From changing drinking habits to new matcha technologies, here are a few highlights and surprises from three very full days.
These matcha crinkle cookies are soft, vibrant, and full of green tea flavor. A touch of almond extract rounds things out, while a generous dusting of powdered sugar creates the classic crackled top. They’re simple to make and a perfect excuse to bake with matcha.
I’ve been having a lot of fun this year experimenting with tea-based mocktails—drinks that are alcohol-free but full of flavor. From the nutty smoothness of the Hellbender Highball to the tangy Matcha Mojito and the bright, citrusy Sencha Sunrise, this collection is a place to keep them all together (with more to come!).
This bright, aromatic blend pairs the gentle sweetness of kukicha with the rich umami of matcha and the lively citrus character of yuzu. The result is a smooth, refreshing cup with notes of fresh greens, soft sweetness, and a light, tart finish. The addition of matcha deepens the body, while dried yuzu peel brings a fragrant lift that carries through each sip.
Made from the stems of the tea plant, kukicha is naturally lower in caffeine and known for its mellow, approachable flavor. Its subtle sweetness provides an ideal base for both the depth of matcha and the floral brightness of yuzu, making this an especially versatile tea that shines both hot and cold.
