Japan Kabusecha Organic

A stunning, emerald First Flush green tea harvested in early June. For centuries, Japanese tea growers have practiced "shading" - using nets or trellises to control the amount of sunlight the plants receive. Kabusecha is partially shaded under translucent nets for two weeks prior to harvest enhancing the sweetness and smoothness of the finished product. The result is somewhere between Sencha and Gyokuro: bright, grassy notes capped by a rich, unexpected creaminess.

Preparation: One heaping teaspoon per 8oz cup of filtered water, boiled and cooled for approximately 10 minutes to 70°C/158°F. Allow to brew 1.5 minutes.

Organic cultivation certified by Ceres GmbH for conformity with USDA standards.
