Ota Shigeki Seicha has sold only Original Organic Tea from Ureshino, Saga Prefecture-Japan.
The term ggurih means gbendedh and guricha usually refers to tamaryokucha that has been steamed instead of pan-fired (kama-iri, like Chinese green teas). This guricha is made of 3 type of KABUSE-CHA from Ota Shigeki Seicha is for Heritage grade tea.
Kabuse-cha, sometimes called Kabuse Sencha, is a tea that lies in between gyokuro and sencha. It is shaded for approximately one week after the leaves bud.
Shading the tea leaves cuts out the sunlight that reaches the plant and forces the plant to retain more L-theanine (creating the savory umami flavor), and reduces catechins (the antioxidant which produces astringency). This results in a balanced tea that is rich and savory.
