This loose Kabusecha green tea has a mildly aromatic & sweet taste with a strong umami. It smells very aromatic after infusion and has a pale green color. Compared to our Senchas, it is fuller-bodied, more intense and also sweeter in taste.

This Kabusecha comes from Makizono in Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern island of Kyushu. Akana & Yuri San's tea farm is located directly in front of the active volcanic island of Sakurajima and has been run without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers for decades. Akana San went to Shizuoka for several years to study tea cultivation and processing there. After her return, she and her sister are now gradually taking over the tea farm from their parents.

The sisters grow all their teas without pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. Of course, we have also had the pesticide-free status checked again externally - you can see the pesticide report in the picture gallery above. So you can be sure that our tea is 100% free from harmful substances.

Akane & Yuri verwenden für ihren süßlichen Schwarztee Teesträucher des Kultivar Benifuuki. Du kannst damit nichts anfangen? In unserer FAQ erklären wir es.

2-3 teaspoons per teapot / 70 degrees / 60 seconds

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

Like our Senchas, Kabusecha is particularly suitable for cold brewing: simply pour cold water over the same amount of Kabusecha and leave to infuse for 5-10 minutes. The delicious refreshment is ready. Our tutorial video below shows you this simple and super refreshing preparation method.

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.
