Japanese tea season starts from the southern part of Japan.
Tanegashima, Kagoshima prefecture is one of the earliest places
where the Shincha (the first flush Sencha of the year) begins to be put on the
market.
Usually, it’s around the end of March, but this year it just
started because spring came a bit late. It’s the first time in 23 years since
their Shincha put on the market in April
instead of March.
Whatever it is, much-awaited Shincha (literally means; new tea) season
has come! Shincha season is going up north including to Kyoto and Shizuoka.
