Organic Kabuse Sencha

DKK 160.00

In the cup: a rich, savory taste and vegetal flavor with sweet anise notes and a slight astringency.

This organic Kabusecha is made from the Yabukita cultivar in Wazuka, Kyoto. The dark green leaves are shaded from sunlight for 16 days before harvest. "Kabuse" translates to ‘cover’ in Japanese.

Kabusecha is covered for a shorter period than Gyokuro, making it a hybrid between Sencha and Gyokuro. By shading the tea plants, the tea becomes sweeter and less astringent. Compared to regular Sencha, this tea has more sweetness and a seaweed-like aroma when brewed at low temperatures.
