Kabuse Sencha+Matcha, organic

Kabuse Sencha+Matcha, organic

A pinch of matcha gives this semi-shade green tea from the April picking a bright deep green colour, especially in the first infusion, which then clears up slightly. The pleasing, fresh green flavour makes the tea a wonderful everyday companion and is also a good starter tea for green tea novices.

In Japanese, this combination of Sencha with Matcha powder is also known as Matchairi Sencha.

Kabusecha is a green tea that is produced by shading the tea plants, which causes them to develop a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients such as theanine, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. At the same time, the plants produce fewer bitter substances due to the shade.

Like many KEIKO teas, this tea is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushicha). The gentle steaming process opens up the leaf pores and increases the extract content of the tea. This can be recognised by the cloudy, deep green cup and the yield of the tea.

Preparation




Intensively steamed early pickings are also particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, you can obtain an intense and refreshing iced tea after just a few minutes. As the bitter substances do not develop as strongly when cold, the sweet flavours of Kabusecha are particularly effective. We recommend a brewing time of at least 5 minutes for the cold infusion.
For the hot infusion, we recommend a temperature of 60-65°C and 60 seconds infusion time for the first infusion. Leave the 2nd and 3rd infusion to infuse for only about 15 seconds and increase the infusion time again for the last infusion to extract all the flavours from the leaves.

Storage




To preserve the valuable flavours and ingredients of the tea as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.

Ingredients: 100% Grüntee (Halbschatten-Grüntee,Matcha 3%)
Origin: Japan -Kagoshima

Green tea preparation

Prepare

Prepare

Provide one cup with a capacity of 80 to 100 ml per person. Depending on the variety, let the boiled water cool down to 80° to 60°C. To do so, pour the water into a cooling bowl or directly into the cups to cool, which also pre-warms them.
Dose

Dose

Add one level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay teapot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Let the first infusion steep for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.
Pour

Pour

If the tea is served to several people, first pour only a little tea into each cup and then top them up in reverse order. This way the tea is equally strong in all cups. The pouring motion gradually gives the tea its proper green colour. Also pour out the last “golden” drops to prevent the tea from over-steeping.
Enjoy

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet is often served with the unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Let it steep for only about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already expanded and releases its ingredients more quickly. Serve promptly all round.

Kabuse No. 1 - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Half shaded teas from the first picking like the Kabuse No. 1 have an aromatic touch of sweetness due to an increased theanine content, paired with a fine bitterness and fresh green. For this shaded Sencha from the first main picking, the first leaves sprouting from the tea bush are harvested. Kabusecha Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika".   Fukamushicha   Like many KEIKO teas, this is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). Due to the gentle steaming process, the leaf pores open and the extracts from the tea leaf reach the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognized by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea - with top qualities up to 4 infusions are possible! Cold Brew       Intensively steamed early pickings are also particularly suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi or Cold Brew). By infusing the leaves with cold water you will get an intensive and refreshing tea after only a few minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable.

Genmaicha with Matcha - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Genmaicha with Matcha - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Kabuse Genmaicha + Matcha is a traditional speciality made of green tea mixed with roasted rice (Genmai) and fresh green tea powder (Matcha). Kabusecha from the second picking is used for the KEIKO Genmaicha + Matcha creating a full flavour with a pleasant roasted note in the infusion. The Matcha Powder adds a magnificent, intense green colour as well as all its nutrients and aroma to the mix. The rich aroma makes Genmaicha a popular accompaniment to meals. When it is cold, the pleasant roasting aromas warm up, but even on warm days, a cold Genmaicha (prepared hot as usual and then set in the fridge to cool down) is a wonderful refreshment.   In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we ask you to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
