For a new crop (shincha) matcha, the flavour profile is typically characterised by freshness, sweetness and vibrant aromatics.

New crop matcha delivers a bright, lively character with vibrant vegetal notes, fresh-cut grass, young spinach and a gentle natural sweetness. Its clean finish, rich umami and delicate aroma capture the freshness of the first spring harvest, making it especially enjoyable as traditional usucha.
