Limited Sencha KOUBASHI








Limited Sencha KOUBASHI
A very smooth, mildly sweet, and full-bodied premium Sencha. Features a Gyokuro-like umami and slightly floral notes in the finish. Grown, harvested, and processed by Susumu San at his newly established tea farm in Kawane, Shizuoka, in the heart of Japan. Thanks to the slightly longer steaming process, the tea leaves are finer and the infusion is particularly aromatic, without any bitterness or harsh flavors. Very soothing and pleasant to drink.

Hand-picked tea leaves
Susumu San checks every single basket of freshly harvested tea leaves for aroma and quality. The result is an intensely fragrant, highly aromatic green tea that has become his trademark in Japan.
Soft taste
The long steaming of the tea leaves ensures a balanced, smooth taste and a full-bodied aroma. The tea can of course be infused several times.
A passion for tea growing
Susumu San quit his job as a manager at a large tea company in 2023 to pursue his passion for growing & selecting green tea. He bought an abandoned tea farm in Kawane and now uses his knowledge & years of experience to produce his own tea. He does not use any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers.
Harvesting by hand is very laborious, but produces an exquisite green tea of the highest quality.

This highly aromatic & full-bodied Kabusecha green tea from the first 2025 harvest comes from Mr. Iwakura from Shimada (Shizuoka). The new harvest is particularly impressive due to its stronger sweetness and perfect balance. Due to its long shading with nets & its particularly natural cultivation, it is very aromatic, unique & full-bodied in taste. The natural fertilization with tea grass (Chagusaba) is a traditional method from Shizuoka Prefecture and ensures a broad, complex aroma. Despite its intense, aromatic flavor, this top-quality green tea has no astringency and is not at all bitter. Like all our green teas, it is of course completely pesticide-free.

Naturally grown yuzu citrus fruit meets kukicha green tea made from high-quality asamushi sencha. The yuzu citrus fruits with complex aromas are dried and the peel is then combined with a fine selection of tea stems and broken tea leaves. This creates a unique green tea with sweet, tangy fruit aromas and full-bodied green tea notes. By selecting only briefly steamed Sencha green tea, it is now fruitier and even better balanced.

Awarded at the Great Taste Awards 2025 in London. 🌟
Soft, full-bodied, aromatic and slightly sweet top-quality green tea with Kyushu-typical fruitiness and Shizuoka-typical umami. The young tea farmer Akane San runs the tea farm together with her family directly in the foothills of the active Sakurajima volcano. Akane San trained in Shizuoka and is now gradually taking over her father's tea farm. Completely atypical for a green tea, which is grown using only natural fertilizers, Kabusecha has a very intense taste with a strong umami without any bitterness or grassiness. A Kabusecha that is already in great demand in Japan due to its strong umami.

The very first green tea of the new 2026 season comes from Mr. Eiichi on the island of Tanegashima, in the far south of Japan. Along with the ➡️SHINCHA MIDORI, it is flown directly to us from the tea farm. This guarantees maximum freshness but also means availability is extremely limited! Thanks to the Shōju cultivar (tea bush variety), this is an incredibly smooth, naturally sweet Shincha green tea with deep umami, perfectly balanced body, and a fresh aroma. As soon as you open the package, a scent reminiscent of a fresh spring breeze and light fruitiness wafts toward you.
A unique shincha that can only come from Tanegashima. The Shoju cultivar is found exclusively on Tanegashima and was developed by Eiichi Matsushita and the Tanegashima Tea Association. Naturally, Eiichi-san uses absolutely no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Thanks to its high quality, this green tea can be steeped at least four times! We will only have a very limited quantity in stock, as Mr. Eiichi produces only a limited amount each year and his Shincha is extremely popular in Japan.

This Shincha from the new 2026 season comes from Mr. Sugita in Makinohara, Shizuoka, in the heart of Japan. The extended steaming of the green tea, known as Fukamushi, gives the Shincha a deep, sweet flavor and a fruity aroma from the tea leaves. The very fine and broken tea leaves give the infusion a vibrant green color. Fertilization with home-grown tea grass further enhances the sweetness and depth of flavor of the green tea. If you steep the Shincha multiple times, you can fully appreciate the flavor nuances of the Fukamushi Shincha: ranging from sweet to spicy-umami to light and fresh. We currently have only a very limited quantity in stock, as Mr. Sugita produces only a limited amount each year and his Fukamushi green tea is very popular in Japan.
