Seasonal availability:季节限定: First-flush harvest only — about four weeks in May. When the window closes, this experience is gone until next year.仅限头采收获期——5月约4周。窗口期一旦结束,本体验将等到明年才会再次开放。Dates:日期: Around May 1 (the 88th night) to late May — harvest days confirmed two weeks ahead每年5月1日前后(八十八夜)至5月下旬(采摘日提前两周确定)

Shincha — the first flush — is the tea the growers keep for themselves. For about four weeks in May, the Uji hills are picked for the year's best leaves, and this experience puts you in the rows with the farmers while it happens.新茶——头采,是茶农留给自己喝的茶。5月的约4周里,宇治的丘陵上采摘着当年最好的茶叶,而这个体验让您在采收进行时站进茶垄之间。

You pick alongside the growers, learn why shading changes a leaf's chemistry, watch the steaming and rolling that stops time inside the leaf, and then sit down to taste: this year's shincha against last year's, and a matcha ground on a stone mill in front of you. Uji has grown Japan's finest tea for eight hundred years; in May you can taste why.与茶农并肩采茶,了解遮光如何改变茶叶的内质;观看将时间锁进叶片的蒸青与揉捻;然后落座品鉴:今年的新茶对比去年的茶,以及一杯在您眼前用石臼现磨的抹茶。宇治种出日本最好的茶已有八百年——在5月,您可以亲口确认原因。
