This invigorating tea is a beautiful expression of the Yabukita cultivar, a variety that originated in the renowned producing region of Shizuoka. Kabusecha is a distinct category of Japanese green tea as a result of a relatively prolonged shading period of 10-14 days. Shading the tea before picking raises the amino acid content in the leaf, leading to delightful umami qualities in the cup.
