The preparation

To preserve the delicate flavors of green tea, avoid using boiling water. We recommend several infusions to fully explore its subtle and complex notes.

The processing of the tea

Our DAIKOKU is a Kabusecha, a partially shaded tea. One to two weeks before harvest, the tea plants are covered with a dark net. This process results in an intense green color and a strong umami flavor.

What is Kabusecha?

Kabusecha is a Japanese green tea whose tea plants are partially shaded for about one to two weeks before harvest. This shading reduces direct sunlight and encourages the development of chlorophyll and amino acids in the leaves. As a result, Kabusecha develops a rich umami flavour and a vibrant deep-green colour.

What makes the green tea DAIKOKU special?

DAIKOKU is a high-quality Kabusecha from Japan that combines the fresh character of Sencha with the deeper umami notes typical of shaded teas. The short shading period gives the tea a complex flavour profile with fresh green notes and a delicate natural sweetness.

What does Kabusecha tea taste like?

Kabusecha is known for its balanced and layered flavour. Typical characteristics include fresh green tea notes, a noticeable umami depth and a gentle sweetness. Depending on origin and processing, you may also notice nuances of fresh grass, vegetable-like notes or light fruity accents.

What is the difference between Kabusecha and Sencha?

The main difference lies in the shading process. Sencha grows fully exposed to sunlight, while Kabusecha is shaded for a short period before harvest. This shading allows Kabusecha to develop more umami and often results in a softer, rounder flavour compared with many traditional Sencha teas.

What is the difference between Kabusecha and Gyokuro?

Both Kabusecha and Gyokuro are shaded teas, but the duration and intensity of shading differ. Gyokuro is shaded for a longer period, which produces a very intense umami flavour. Kabusecha sits somewhere between Sencha and Gyokuro in taste, combining fresh green notes with a gentle umami depth.

Does Kabusecha contain caffeine?

Yes, Kabusecha contains caffeine because it is made from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Like many Japanese green teas, the caffeine provides a gentle and sustained lift that many tea drinkers describe as clear and balanced.

How do you prepare Kabusecha tea?

Kabusecha is best brewed with water at around 60–70 °C. Use approximately 4 g of tea for 250 ml of water and allow the first infusion to steep for about 1 minute. This gentle brewing method helps preserve the tea’s delicate flavours and umami character.

Can Kabusecha be infused more than once?

Yes, high-quality Kabusecha is well suited to multiple infusions. Each infusion reveals slightly different flavour nuances. The first infusion is usually the most intense, while later infusions tend to become softer and fresher.

Where does Kabusecha tea come from?

Kabusecha originates from Japan and is part of the country’s traditional green tea culture. It is typically produced in specialised tea-growing regions where climate, soil and cultivation methods create ideal conditions for high-quality Japanese green tea.

Who is Kabusecha tea suitable for?

Kabusecha is a great choice for anyone looking for a balanced Japanese green tea with both freshness and umami depth. Thanks to its harmonious flavour, it appeals to both newcomers to green tea and experienced tea drinkers.
