Kabusecha Takamado From Marukyu koyamaen 100g

Kabusecha "Takamado"

Takamado is a premium kabusecha, a refined Japanese green tea cultivated using a special shading method. The tea plants are covered with a simple canopy for several days before harvest, allowing the young tea leaves to develop a mellow flavor and vibrant green color. This process enhances the natural sweetness and umami while minimizing bitterness, resulting in a smooth and refreshing taste.

What is Kabusecha?

Kabusecha (かぶせ茶) is a unique type of Japanese green tea that combines the best qualities of sencha and gyokuro. By shading the tea plants for 7 to 10 days, the leaves retain higher levels of chlorophyll and amino acids, giving the tea a richer umami taste and reduced astringency. This method preserves the natural sweetness while maintaining the fresh and invigorating characteristics of traditional green tea.

Experience the refined taste of Takamado, where the harmony of smooth umami and a lively green hue brings the essence of high-quality Japanese tea to your cup.
