Where does Kabusecha Green Tea come from?
Our Kabusecha is from the prestigious Yame region in Northern Kyushu, Japan. Yame is famous for top-quality shaded teas. The fields near the rivers get morning mists, which naturally shade the plants and boost flavor.
What are the benefits of shade grown tea?
Shading creates L-Theanine, which boosts umami/sweetness and reduces bitterness. This gives you a smoother, richer flavor and promotes a feeling of calmer focus and relaxation.
What does Kabusecha tea taste like?
Kabusecha is Umami-rich and buttery with natural sweetness, because it's shaded. Notes include steamed spinach, bean sprout, and barley. It's smooth, not bitter, leaving a sweet finish.
How do I brew kabusecha tea for the best flavor?
For Hot Brew, use 8g of leaves at 176°F for 90 seconds. For the ultimate umami, try K?ridashi: Steep 10g of leaves and 2 -3 cups ice in a pot for 3-4 hours (slow-melt) to create a super-sweet, zero-bitterness extract.
why is kabusecha special?
This is our proprietary blend of the mellow Okumidori and the unique Fuji-Midori cultivars, which is specific to the Yame area. This blending expertise ensures a perfect, complex, and low-astringency taste that reflect kabusecha's unique personality
