Saeakari cultivar kabusecha (shaded green tea) grown and processed by the Shimizu family of Suizawa, Mie Prefecture. The saeakari kabusecha is quite unique, one can enjoy the sweet scent of boiled corn/boiled edamame. Since it is a relatively new variety, it is still considered to be rare. This is a tea that is relatively popular amongst women. Kabusechas are a fantastic in-between tea (i.e., in-between sencha and gyokuro) and you wouldn't want to miss out on trying one from the Marushige Shimizu Tea Farm, that is what they specialise in! This tea can be wonderfully refreshing when ice steeped, a recommendation for the summer time. A note about the saeakari cultivar: Registered rather more recently in 2011, saeakari means "radiant/clear brightness" in Japanese. It can be characterised with notes of chestnut and boiled corn. Due to its high umami, this cultivar is well-suited as a gyokuro or kabusecha.
