Kabusecha
 
(5 reviews)  

From the first harvest in Uji. 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. A very pleasant, refreshing green tea. Brew as you would for sencha, not gyokuro.

Available in 100 gram packages.

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.

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

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

Advantages: Mild and Delicious

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.

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 74C at 90-100 secs. find that anything below that came out quite weak.

The Matcha is really fresh and the taste is real good. It is also very affordable and definitely worth the price for such good quality.

Hi Kevin,

I have bought a few items from you and have been extremely happy with them.

They were: A Tokoname Kyusu teapot, two cups, Sencha tea, Matcha tea and I am waiting on my green tea scoop. You and your website offer exceptional products and the quality is extraordinary, not to mention the customer service which is also phenomenal and friendly.

I will definitely be ordering much more in the future from you.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your teas!; and I loved brewing the Sencha in my Kyusu it adds to the experience and joy of drinking them.

Thank you for this website and offering the products.
Richard
Thank you O-Cha for the wonderful matcha! It is a real pleasure to drink, beautiful fragrance and colour. Your site was easy to use and my tea arrived less than a week after ordering. I will definitely be back!
