Kabusecha from Mie Prefecture is a premium Japanese green tea produced using a traditional shading method, where tea bushes are partially covered before harvest. This technique slows photosynthesis and concentrates amino acids, resulting in a tea that bridges the freshness of sencha with the richness of gyokuro.

Grown in Mie’s fertile tea fields, the leaves develop a deep green colour and yield a clear, jade-hued infusion. Aromas of fresh sea breeze, tender greens, and soft umami rise from the cup. On the palate, the tea is smooth and layered, offering gentle sweetness, refined umami, and minimal astringency, finished with a clean, lingering freshness.

Elegant yet approachable, Kabusecha is ideal for those seeking depth without heaviness—well suited for both daily enjoyment and refined hospitality service.
