Characteristics and Delicious Brewing of Kabusecha"},"content":{"rendered":"

In this article<\/a>**”As introduced in this article, kabusecha is made through a process of shading the tea leaves from sunlight for about 3 to 10 days before harvesting. Kabusecha can be considered a middle ground between gyokuro, which is shaded for 20 to 30 days before harvesting, and sencha, which is not shaded. Therefore, it combines the rich sweetness and umami of gyokuro with the refreshing astringency and bitterness of sencha, resulting in a very well-balanced flavor that can be described as ‘the best of both worlds.’<\/p>

In this article, we will introduce the characteristics of kabusecha and how to brew it deliciously. Kabusecha is often distributed with deep green, thin tea leaves, as shown in the photo below. (Due to differences in tea leaf grade and processing methods, there are also tea leaves that have a slightly curled shape.)”**<\/p>
