When infused, these gorgeous jade-green leaves create a bold green tea with strong cooked vegetable and marine notes and a thick mouthfeel. May 2025 harvest. Obubu Tea Farm is based in Kyoto Japan. It is run as an agricultural social venture with a strong focus on high quality tea, community contribution and tea education.

Preparation: Steep for 3 minutes at 80°. Three infusions.

Infusions: specialty tea leaves can all be steeped at least twice, and often more, so each 3 gram serve (150 mls - a standard teacup size), will give you two cups ('infusions') if you steep the leaves twice. On the back of your pouch under 'Steep', you can find the number of infusions for your tea.

If you infuse your leaves at least twice, your pouch will give you the following cups of tea (or more if you infuse your leaves more times):

50 grams - 33 cups
100 grams - 66 cups
200 grams - 133 cups
