Unit price per
This first flush organic kabusecha combines elements of sencha and gyokuro teas and has a light ocean aroma combined with fresh-cut grass, a subtle, umami, grassy flavour and a slightly bitter, astringent finish. It is from the Zairai cultivar unique to the Nara region and is shaded for a shorter time than gyokuro, making the leaves greener than sencha teas.
