TOKYO HANDA TEA

02/05/2026

Today is 八十八夜 (Hachiju-hachiya) in Japan—literally the "88th night" from 立春 (the start of spring)🌱

This marks the beginning of the first tea harvest of the year. Tea picked during this time, known as 新茶 (Shincha / new tea), has long been cherished as a symbol of health and longevity.

It’s packed with the fresh aroma, rich umami, and the vibrant energy of young tea buds. May this seasonal cup bring you a moment of peace and vitality.
