Schumann’s House Tea
A collection of high grade organic Japanese teas harvested in the south of Japan.
Although tea drinking originated far away from where we come from, our desire is to incorporate the scent, taste and beauty of Japanese green tea plants into our daily lives.
We believe in this unique drink that provides us the gift of pause: a moment where we can carve time out of our busy days and just slow down. Our high quality tea is both physically and mentally nourishing. Whether by adding warmth to the cold winters or refreshment to hot summers, tea leaves have the power to create balance between mind and body.
Words alone cannot convey the culture, express the feeling or describe the flavour our teas possess… allow us to bring the full experience to you.

Shincha is a green tea from the first plucking. The word Shincha consists of two characters: 新 = shin, which means new, and 茶 = cha for tea.In Spring the tea plants are covered with nets for a few days.Due to the shading, the leaves have a highly aromatic taste without being bitter. After harvesting, the leaves are immediately lightly steamed, also to retain the soft green colour. Early plucking have a high theanine content, which is noticeable through a sweetish taste. We suggest enjoying our tea with the recommended water temperature.
