The widest definition refers to any leaf in the first two months or so after harvest (when the leaves are still \"new\"). General use of the term refers more specifically to the spring harvest, and the first two months or so afterwards. This means the same spring tea called shincha in May is no longer called shincha in August because it is no longer new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, many farmers will harvest extra early for particularly young, tender leaves creating \u003ca href=\"\/en-gb\/collections\/japanese-shincha-green-tea\/limited-edition\"\u003eLIMITED EDITION\u003c\/a\u003e tea products.

This gyokuro shiraore consists of a blend of tea stems, stalks and twigs which come from the production of gyokuro. This is the reason why it is considered to be the highest quality of kukicha. Similar to a gyokuro, with shiraore tea, one will experience umami which comes from the high theanine content. While in Kyushu (the most southern island), the people call this type of tea shiraore, Kyoto folks call it karigane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gyokuro Shiraore \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJapanese name\u003c\/strong\u003e: 玉露白折\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e: Green tea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIngredients: 100% Yamecha green tea leaf stems \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yabe Village, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi-jp.pro\/blogs\/japanese-tea-guide\/does-the-best-gyokuro-come-from-yame?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=be20cc264\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eYame City, Fukuoka Prefecture\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Machine harvested\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVendor Info\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKurihara Seicha Ltd.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMembers\u003c\/strong\u003e: Kippei, Yuji, and Akio Kurihara (Father and sons)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/R6mFn\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e4236 Kita Yabe, Yabe-mura, Yame-shi, Fukuoka Prefecture 834-1401, JAPAN\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize of fields\u003c\/strong\u003e: About 3 hectares\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude of fields\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e300 - 700 meters\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kurihara Tea Farm","offers":[{"title":"[2025] 10g \/ 0.35 oz \/ Yunomi bag","offer_id":28336647941,"sku":"kht5001-010-y25","price":460.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"[2026] 100g \/ 3.5 oz \/ Original bag","offer_id":32427599365,"sku":"kht5001-100-y26","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"[2026] MULTIPACK 1kg (100g x 10 original bags) \/ 2.2 lbs","offer_id":4101520581,"sku":"kht5001-100x10-y26","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/20240215_113047_0000.png?v=1707966699"},{"product_id":"chakouan-04-imari-sencha-sachi-no-megumi-green-tea","title":"PREORDER available late May 🍵 2026 #0174.S1 Chakouan: Imari Sencha Sachi no Megumi, Green Tea 伊萬里茶・幸の恵 (H8206)","description":"\u003cp\u003eImari-cha grown in the heart of mountains in Imari, Saga Prefecture in Kyushu.
