The Spirit of Kyoto, Naturally Grown: Introducing DOIT! FARM! to the UK
We are thrilled to announce our official partnership with DOIT! FARM!, bringing their exceptional, single-origin Kyoto Uji teas to the UK for the very first time.
As a small, family-run tea farm nestled in the historic region of Uji, DOIT! FARM! stands entirely apart from mass production. They practice true Shizen Nōhō (Natural Farming), meaning their crops are cultivated with absolute respect for the earth—entirely free from chemical pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Powered only by the natural richness of the soil and the daily care of a single family, every leaf captures the pure, unaltered essence of Kyoto.
Taste tea in its most authentic, pristine form. Discover a collection that is as kind to the body as it is to the planet.
Kabuse Sencha (also known as Kabusecha) is a premium shade-grown Japanese green tea that bridges the gap between refreshing, sun-grown Sencha and rich, deeply savory.
Flavour Profile Kabuse Sencha offers a well-balanced, creamy, and sweet taste with a thick, syrupy mouthfeel. It features strong notes of savory umami and fresh grass, but lacks the sharp bitterness or astringency often found in standard unshaded green teas.
How to Brew Kabuse Sencha Because the young spring leaves are highly delicate, they require a gentler touch during brewing. You can adjust your parameters depending on which flavour notes you want to highlight
- For Maximum Umami (Gyokuro Style): Use a lower temperature of 60°C (140°F) and steep for 90 to 120 seconds.
- For a Refreshing Brew (Sencha Style): Use a slightly warmer temperature of 70°C to 80°C (158°F to 176°F) and steep for 60 seconds.
