Kabusecha Green Tea
My Review
This kabusecha has all the hallmarks of a great Japanese tea: a lush, rich green colour; a wonderful aroma of nutty sweetness; and a nasty reaction to oversteeping. You will not enjoy this tea if you steep it for even a minute too long. But stick with O-Cha’s brewing parameters and you’ll stay safe.
When done right, the kabusecha is a lovely tea. It doesn’t have the intense flavours of shincha, instead offering a lighter, sweeter flavour with distinctive notes of seaweed. It gives three good infusions, though I wouldn’t go much beyond that.

A mild, delicate kind of oolong that sits very well on the palate.
Vietnamese Loose Puerh
Come and enjoy a pu-erh that starts slow but blossoms around the third infusion with a surge of sweet smokiness.
