Kabuse Sencha

 Japanese Green Tea

50g (1.8 oz )

Kabuse Sencha is a high-quality green tea from Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Grown using the Kabuse cha shading method, it delivers a perfect balance of sweetness and umami with minimal bitterness. By shading the tea bushes for 3–10 days, the theanine content is increased, astringency is softened, and the aroma is enhanced, creating a rich, flavorful, and easy-to-brew tea.
Kabuse Sencha is ideal for both newcomers and experienced tea lovers, with its harmonious flavor, rich umami, and effortless brewing, offering a delightful experience for all palates.
