88th Night Shincha: Limited-Release Certified Organic Single Cultivar New Season Tea from Shizuoka
What Makes 88th NIGHT Special?
- Once-a-Year Rarity: This is a truly seasonal tea. It is steamed and sealed right after harvest to lock in its vibrant aroma and flavour, available only for a limited period. Once it’s gone, you have to wait until next spring
- High-Altitude Freshness: Grown on higher altitude mountain slopes, where cool mist and mineral-rich soil create a delicate, airy sweetness. This challenging environment results in a unique flavour and smaller, more precious yields
- Peak Nutrition: This early harvest captures the winter-stored energy in each tender bud, packing it with extra catechins, L-theanine, and vitamins for unparalleled quality
88th NIGHT is a precious green tea picked exactly 88 days after Risshun (the 1st day of spring on the Japanese calendar). This limited-release Shincha is treasured for both its exquisite flavour and its folklore, there is a long-standing belief that enjoying it brings good health and longevity.
Lovingly nurtured by a family tea farm in Fujieda, Shizuoka—the heart of Japan's tea production—this tea is from a farm that has pioneered organic farming in the region since the 1970s. Certified organic by Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS), it is cultivated entirely through natural farming methods, ensuring a tea that is as pure as it is delicious.
