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.
Green tea preparation
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
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
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
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.
