Today’s tea is a kabusecha — a Japanese green tea that is 45% shade-grown for three weeks prior to harvest. That puts it halfway between sencha, which isn’t given any shade at all, and gyokuro, which is 100% shade-grown for the three weeks before harvest.
Tea Finely Brewed helps discerning tea drinkers develop a deeper appreciation for the world's most popular beverage (other than water, that is).
