Kabuse Sencha + Matcha - organic Japanese green tea

A pinch of matcha gives this partial shade green tea, pre-picked in April, a bright, deep green color, especially in the first infusion, which then clears slightly.   The pleasant, fresh green aroma makes the tea a wonderful everyday companion and is also a good starter tea for green tea newbies.    In Japanese, this combination of Sencha with Matcha powder is also called Matchairi Sencha.    Kabusecha is green tea, for the production of which the tea plants are shaded, which causes them to develop a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients such as theanine, which is noticeable through its sweet taste.   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 opens the leaf pores and increases the extract content of the tea.   This can be recognized by the cloudy, deep green cup and the yield of the tea.
