New Version. From the 2008 harvest. Kabusecha is grown in the shade for 14~20 days before harvest under 45% shade, giving it characteristics of both sencha and gyokuro. A sweeter, less astringent taste than regular sencha, it is a lovely green color with a clear, not-so-cloudy liquid. Brew as you would for sencha, not gyokuro.

first infusion is heavenly, a good flavor of sencha with tones of gyokuro on the tongue, subsequence brews are a lot weaker, usually goes for 3 infusion for mine, i use slightly hot water 74< at 90-100 secs. find that anything below that came out quite bland. 1tsp to 150ml water.

This tea is a good, cheap way to get introduced to the gyokuro side of things. Fairly easy to brew but sometimes difficult to balance between too light and slightly overbrewed. Very good complex flavor and aroma.

A mild Japanese green tea with good flavor, reminiscent of gyokuro.

If you like gyokuro... you will like this.

A very smooth and sweet tea with a unique flavor. A nice seaweed taste that makes this different than other teas I have tried. The color is lacking which made me think on my first brew that it was not brewed long enough or maybe would be weak, but this w

Hello,
You sent a message, to my husband asking if everything was okay with his tea order. He bought two types of matcha and a matcha whisk for me as a Christmas gift and I love it!

I just wanted to let you know in case he didn't relay that information. I will definitely be considering ordering from you when my supply is finished!
Thanks so much for your service and great product.
Sincerely,
Barbara W

Hey Kevin,

I've ordered many different products from O-Cha.com and have blown away! The Sencha and Gyokuro I've tried have been outstanding and at very good prices. I'm always amazed by the fast shipping (about four days from Japan to Canada)!

Will be ordering more very soon!
Griff
