organic senchaOrganic Kabusecha - Grown organic near the Warashina river in Shizuoka, this green tea is harvested from the first round of young leaves. Lightly steamed (asamushi), single estate, non-blended from one farm. Kabusecha is grown for 14 to 20 days before harvest under 45% shade, giving it taste characteristics of both sencha and gyokuro. A sweeter, less astringent taste than regular sencha, it has a lovely green color. Brew as you would for sencha. Certified organic. As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging. 50gm

An excellent tea. The actual leaves are beautiful, mostly all full, and expand completely in my kyusu. The taste is what I expect from a kabusecha; it has a pleasant seaweed-like taste that reminds me of matcha with a subtle toasty undertone.

A nice light steamed reasonably priced (especially for an organic one) Kabusecha. Clear taste and easy to brew.
