Japan Obubu 'Kabuse Zairai' Sencha Green Tea
£4.20 £6.00
MARKED DOWN 30% FOR ALL OF JULY AS OUR TEA OF THE MONTH!
We're excited to offer a kabuse (two week shaded) sencha unusually produced from zairai (old seed grown tea plants). It has a smooth almost creamy sweet taste with a very gentle umami finish.
Produced from 30+ year old bushes grown from seeds gives the sencha an atypical taste and texture, leaning closer in certain regards to a green oolong than a sencha.
Tasting Notes:
- Smooth, slightly creamy texture
- Smooth sweet taste with a gentle umami finish with grass hints
