Organic Green Tea Kabusecha Okumidori 50 gr

Kabuse-Cha means “shade tea”: about a week and a half before the harvest of Kabusecha Okumidori Organic Green Tea, the plants are partially covered so that solar rays reach the plants with less intensity, which by reaction produce more chlorophyll. Coming from the Okumidori cultivar, in cup they give a yellow-green liquor that envelops the palate with intense herbal notes, a distinct umami taste and a slight bitter note in the aftertaste, very persistent.

Place of origin

Kagoshima, Japan

Brewing method

Place 3 grams (about three teaspoons) in a Japanese Kyusu-type teapot or, in its absence in a teapot possibly with a wide, flat bottom.

Pour 200 ml of water at a temperature of 70°C over the leaves, and after 1 1/2 minutes strain and serve the tea in cups. To make the most of the leaves and continue the taste experience with this tea we recommend making 3 more infusions using the same leaves with the same quantity and temperature parameters, but lengthening the infusion time by 5-10 seconds.

The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.

As we are talking about a Japanese green tea, it is also possible to make a delicious infusion in cold water before proceeding with hot water. For the latter we recommend, with the same grams of leaves per amount of water, an infusion time of about 10 minutes.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
