Product Details:
This tea has a grassy and floral aroma, with a sweet and rich scent of dried leaves. It has a refined flavor that is incredibly smooth and refreshing, without any bitterness. The aftertaste is delicious and lingers for a while, revealing more floral notes and umami flavors.
IYEMON CHA is a well-known brand with a long history - it was founded over two centuries ago in 1790 and is now one of Japan's top three leaf tea sellers.
Kabusecha tea is grown under partial shade for 14-20 days before harvesting, which gives it characteristics of both sencha (not covered) and gyokuro (fully covered). It has sencha's refreshing flavor and some of gyokuro's umami sweetness. A touch of tone-ground matcha is added to impart a more intense sweetness, umami, and depth of flavor.
This tea is authentic from Japan.
