Organic Asanoka Kabusecha

Organic Asanoka Kabusecha – Premium Japanese Organic Green Tea

Partially Shade-Grown Kabusecha with Bold Flavor

Organic Asanoka Kabusecha is a bold and expressive organic green tea from Satsumasendai in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. This is a kabusecha—a partially shade-grown green tea—which produces a deeper color and more complex umami profile than standard sun-grown teas. Crafted from the aromatic Asanoka cultivar, this first-flush tea is celebrated for its aggressive grassy aroma, balanced astringency, and pronounced umami character.

Cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, this certified organic kabusecha delivers a clean yet intense flavor—ideal for tea drinkers who appreciate clarity, strength, and regional distinction.
