Taste Notes
For the most discerning of sencha connoisseurs, Ippodo is extremely pleased to offer Kaboku-our finest sencha. With a full-bodied sweetness that softly lingers on the tongue, and a flowery fragrance that permeates the air, Kaboku is the ultimate sencha for those with a discriminating taste and an appreciation for the highest level of excellence.
Sencha
A harmonious blend of sweetness, bitterness, richness, astringency, and fragrance-this is sencha. It's easy to understand why this balanced beverage is the most popular tea in Japan. In the morning or afternoon, before or after a meal, sencha is the perfect drink to revitalize your mind and refresh your spirits.

To me this is a very light flavored tea.
The best sencha and it comes from US, not need international shipping. Thats a big bonus.
(Usually, we buy sencha from Japan)
I have tried many different teas during my whole life but this is one of the best Sencha I’ve tasted. The end taste is elegant and lovely.
Best in class Sensha
The most prominent characteristic of Kaboku is umami! Don't get me wrong, it's all there- slight bitterness, astringency, sweetness, but the umami experience is profound. The best way for me to describe Kaboku is "broth-like". It's warming me up on this damp spring day while I am writing this review. Along with my other experiences of Ippodo tea, I have found a supreme quality. I think it is important to mention that I typically need to reduce the leaf to water ratio from what Ippodo recommends in order to get a brew to my liking. The package recommends 2 tablespoons per roughly a cup of water at 175 F and I always get a bitter brew. I found that in my hands, 2 heaping teaspoons with the 7 ounces of water at 175 allows the flavors to shine. Alas there are many factors at play so please do experiment and give this tea a try! You wont be disappointed.
