Japan Kabuse-Cha (half-shade): Translated, this tea means "covered tea" or "net tea," which is due to the way it is produced. Kabuse-Cha, also known as Kabuse-Sencha, is shaded for between 7 and 14 days using large nets. Since the shading period is shorter than that of a Gyokuro, for example, Kabuse-Cha is referred to as a half-shade tea. Like Gyokuro, it is harvested during the first harvest period in May.

When less sunlight reaches the leaf surface, the tea plant not only grows more slowly but also produces fewer catechins, the naturally occurring polyphenols in tea. Instead, the ratio of ingredients shifts more towards the amino acid theanine. This is responsible for the umami-like, sweet, and highly sought-after flavor of high-quality shade-grown teas.
