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.
