Sobre este ingrediente
Mid-tier between sencha and gyokuro, produced under 7–10 days of shade cover (vs gyokuro's 20+ days). Mie Prefecture produces over 60% of Japan's kabusecha; Wazuka (Kyoto) and Yame (Fukuoka) also produce. Profile balances sencha's astringency with gyokuro's umami at a fraction of gyokuro's price point. Increasingly used by D2C tea brands targeting buyers who want gyokuro-adjacent quality without the price.
