About This Tea
What does Kabuse Saeakari taste like?
This Kabusecha offers a deeply satisfying and unctuous liquor, delivering a creamy texture alongside notes of sweet melon and steamed rice. Hints of buttered daikon and a subtle floral whisper of saku. It leans umami, creamy and melon.
How should I brew Kabuse Saeakari?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
