Overall

From the first 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.

Available in 100 gram packages.

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 weak.

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 over brewed. 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 was not the case.
My favorite so far

Dear Kevin,

I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the powdered Sencha I ordered. As usual, the typical characteristics of Japanese green teas were all there; the grassy mellowness, vibrancy, somewhat astringent tannins and the effervescence. I would follow the directions on the package and the results would yield a perfect cup of tea. The only caveat would be that the tea does not totally dissolve. Since I am a big fan of Matcha, I thought I would give powdered sencha a try and I like it a lot. Matcha is still my favorite. But I do love powdered teas better because of the health benefits that are touted more so than just steeping the leaves. One ingests the whole leaf which in turn is healthier than just drinking the run-off, which is only yielding thirty percent of the teas polyphenols.

Once again, the shipping schedule was on time and customer service was wonderful.

Thank you for such superb and delicious products!
