This full-bodied & slightly sweet Kabusecha green tea from the first harvest 2024 comes from Mr. Iwakura from Shimada (Shizuoka). Due to its long shading with nets, it is very intensely aromatic, has a deep umami & is full-bodied in taste. The natural fertilization with tea grass (Chagusaba) is a traditional method from Shizuoka and ensures a broad, complex aroma. It is also an unsorted tea (aracha). It takes a lot of experience to process an unsorted tea to such a flavorful quality. Iwakura-san has therefore steamed the kabusecha longer (chuumushi) than our senchas. Despite its intense, aromatic flavor, it has no astringency and is not at all bitter. Like all our green teas, it is of course absolutely pesticide-free.

  • Dieser lose Kabusecha Grüntee hat einen intensiv-aromatischen & süßlich Geschmack mit einem kräftigen Umami. Er riecht nach dem Aufguss sehr aromatisch und hat eine tiefgrüne naturtrübe Farbe. Er ist im Vergleich zu unseren Senchas vollmundiger, intensiver & auch süßlicher im Geschmack.

  • This Kabusecha comes from the small town of Shimada in Shizuoka Prefecture in central Japan. Mr. Iwakura's tea farm has been in existence for 80 years & has been managed without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers for 27 years. Iwakura-san mainly produces tea that is not sorted later (aracha). All its considerations & efforts in cultivation and harvesting are aimed at processing the whole tea leaf. Iwakura-san runs the 1.5 hectare farm together with his son.

  • Der Kabusecha wird nach der traditionellen Chagusaba-Methode angebaut. Felder mit Gras werden um die Teefelder herum angepflanzt. Dieses Gras, hauptsächlich Zwergbambus & Silbergrass, wird dann als Dünger für die Teepflanzen verwendet. Chemischer Dünger ist somit gar nicht notwendig. In diesem Artikel auf der offiziellen Chagusaba-Website kannst du mehr über diese traditionelle Düngemethode aus Shizuoka erfahren. Die Pestizidfreiheit haben wir natürlich auch noch einmal extern überprüfen lassen - den Pestizidbericht kannst du dir in der Bildergalarie weiter oben ansehen. Du kannst dir also sicher sein, dass unser Tee 100% frei von Schadstoffen ist.

  • 2-3 Teelöffel pro Teekanne / 70-75 Grad / 60 Sekunden

    The loose tea is infused in a pot with a strainer. Alternatively, you can use fillable disposable tea bags. It is a very sweet, strong-aromatic and soft green tea and tastes both beginners and green tea connoisseurs. Our tutorial video below shows you how to make it easily.

    More infusions

    It can, of course, like any good Sencha, be infused several times. Unlike the Sencha N°1 or N°2, the Kabusecha becomes even more flavorful during the second & third infusion. A brewing time of 10-20 seconds is quite sufficient. Due to its fine leaf, up to 5 infusions are possible. So you have not only longer something from the tea but it also dissolves more and more healthy substances from the tea. Here, of course, you can also try different temperatures and infusion times to find out what you like best.

    Cold infusion

    Wie auch unsere Senchas eignen sich der Kabusecha insbesondere auch zum Kalt ansetzen: dazu einfach die gleiche Menge Kabusecha mit kaltem Wasser aufgießen und 5-10min ziehen lassen. Fertig ist die leckere Erfrischung. Unser Tutorial-Video weiter unten zeigt euch diese einfache und mega erfrischende Zubereitsungsmethode.

    Storage

    The Kabusecha comes in a sealed and resealable flavor bag. The removal is thus super easy and the tea stays fresh for a long time.
