Wazuka Kabusecha Shunmei

Shunmei cultivar green tea with pleasant umami, sweetness, and refreshing green notes

This kabuse tea comes from shaded tea fields, has a deep green color, and carries with it the signature, fresh “kabuse-ka” (covered) aroma. By covering the tea plants with shade nets, sunlight is reduced, and richer umami and sweetness are brought about due to higher amino acid content.

The cultivar it comes from is Shunmei, an early-harvest cultivar registered in 1988, known for its deep green color, fine shape, and excellent aroma-flavor balance.

When warmed in the kyusu, the dry leaves release a rich, creamy aroma with a deep green color.
The first brew offers strong umami, gentle kabusecha sweetness, notes of raisin and dried plum, and a refreshing marine (nori-like) character.
A pleasant green aftertaste lingers beautifully.
The second brew maintains sweetness with only light bitterness.

Best brewed at lower temperatures (around 60-70°C) to fully highlight its natural sweetness and enjoyable covered aroma.
