From the first harvest. We find that this tea varies quite a bit from year to year so unlike most of our teas, it can vary quite a bit. Therefore, we may get it from a different source or even location, depending on conditions, please check notes below for details on our current offering.

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.
Mild and Delicious

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

Testimonials

Well, I have been tasting O-Cha.com teas for years now and my opinion about their teas cannot be just emotional. When you use their fabulous teas for years and you never get tired of them, well that means they are really super. And since this is an on line store, Kevin's support is just fantastic.
Believe to a faithful O-cha.com customer!
Thanks Kevin.

I was so excited to see my order was awaiting me once I arrived home from a stressful day at work and the packaging of the tea & pot were very secure in a nice presentation!I prepared my first cup of tea at work the next day and let me tell you, 30 minutes after drinking the "Kabusecha" I felt like I could run a marathon! Now I'm no scientist, (just an ordinary mother/wife) but I believe it has something to do with the antioxidants in the tea. Wow! Is this stuff legal because drinking regular store brought green tea does not have this effect on me like your tea. This tea has opened my mind and I've become more alert & focused. Thank you for a wonderful product and I will be awaiting my monthly shipment like a child awaits Santa Clause in December, lol.

Smooches,
