Shincha 2006
BUY IT HERE!
ONCE A YEAR TEA!
A first flush soft bud harvest from the Kagoshima region. It gets its distinctive aromatic character from the rich volcanic soil. Shincha has a fresh, lively taste that is sweeter with more catechin and theanine. Purchase 2 bags using coupon code SHINCHA6 and each bag costs only $19.99 (13% off).

Health & Ceremonial Tea:
All our premium gree teas are high in catechin. However, this section consists primarily of Japanese teas made by grounding up leaves high in Catechin (ECGC) - the active ingredient in green tea.
We have a special catechin blend for health issues. It's not the tastiest (because catechin is a tannin which is responsible for the tart taste in tea). However it is very high in catchin. Japanese tea ceremony tea (Matcha) is also catechin-rich. Finally we introduce Mate - a Latin American ceremonial tea known for some of its heath qualities (described below) as well.
