Organic Kabusecha Miyazaki Green Tea
Organic Kabusecha Miyazaki Green Tea is an elegant Japanese organic green tea from Miyazaki Prefecture, one of Japan’s most renowned regions for the cultivation of high-quality tea. Belonging to the Kabusecha category, it is grown using a special shading technique that protects the leaves from direct sunlight during the days preceding harvest. This method gives the infusion remarkable smoothness, a rich umami character, and a refined, vegetal, and velvety aromatic profile.

- format: thin, needle-shaped leaves with an intense, bright green colour.

Kabusecha holds a unique position in Japanese tea culture, situated between the freshness of a Sencha and the aromatic depth of a Gyokuro. The plants are covered with special shade cloths for a few days before harvesting: a technique that reduces sun exposure and promotes the development of chlorophyll and natural amino acids present in the leaves.
Kabusecha Miyazaki Organic Green Tea fully expresses this tradition through a bright and silky infusion, characterized by a delicate vegetal sweetness, a pronounced umami component, and an extraordinarily elegant balance. The steam-processed leaves retain the aromatic vibrancy typical of great Japanese green teas.
Its origin from the Miyazaki prefecture, an area with a mild climate and abundant natural humidity, further contributes to the finesse of its flavor profile, offering a deep, harmonious, and particularly refined tasting experience.

Kabusecha Miyazaki Organic Green Tea is valued for its delicate yet deeply rich profile, ideal for moments of focus and daily well-being. Shading the leaves naturally encourages a higher presence of amino acids, contributing to the typical smooth and enveloping sensation of the infusion.
The delicate steaming process also preserves the vegetal freshness and natural qualities of the green tea, offering an elegant, harmonious, and particularly pleasant beverage even for the most discerning tasters.
