Kabuse Sencha is a high-quality Japanese green tea grown in Yame City, Fukuoka Prefecture, using the traditional Kabuse cha shading method. By covering the tea bushes for 3–10 days before harvest, the leaves develop higher theanine content, less bitterness, and a deep umami-rich flavor that is both smooth and complex.
