Okumidori Kabuse Sencha

A Symphony of Umami and Craftsmanship

Discover the art of refinement in every sip with our Kabuse Sencha (かぶせ煎茶), a premium sencha that unveils a world of rich umami. Shaded for three weeks using the direct shading method, this tea elevates the sensory journey of Japanese tea to new heights.

The Shading Craftsmanship: Kabusencha's excellence lies in its meticulous shading technique. The leaves are gently swathed, nurturing them in an ambiance of filtered light. Unlike the shelf-style shading exclusive to Gyokuro and Tencha, Kabusencha's direct shading evokes a unique symphony of flavors.

Cultivating a Transformation: Through the delicate dance of shading, the tea plants' exposure to sunlight is reduced by 50% to 85%. This artistic manipulation coaxes the plants into producing tender leaves infused with a rich chlorophyll essence, embodying the pinnacle of Japanese tea craftsmanship.

Brewing with Precision: To honor this treat's intricate flavors, a brewing temperature of 50-60°C is recommended. This gentle approach accentuates the tea's nuanced notes and highlights the symphony of umami that defines Kabusencha.
