MugiKakegawa tea is that impressive? The term chagusaba farming sounds way too strong!
Hop BroExactly. They use tea leaves grown with the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System's chagusaba farming method, and the aroma of deep-steamed tea really comes through.
MugiWow, so it's different from hop bitterness! Bitterness from tea leaves sounds elegant and interesting!
Hop BroThe caption also says the aroma opens up as the temperature rises, so it's the kind of beer you'd hate to leave half-finished while it gets warm.

Collaboration Saison with Kakegawa Tea
At the brewpub 3TREE BREWERY in Ibaraki City, Osaka, a collaboration beer with Kakegawa Beer, Cha Shibaku Saison ~Kakegawa Tea~, has appeared. The post also lists the English name Japanese Green Tea ALE, and the ABV is 5.5%.
It is based on the saison that 3TREE BREWERY does best. On top of that, it was brewed using Kakegawa tea (deep-steamed tea) grown under the chagusaba farming method, a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System, which is also used in Kakegawa Beer’s standard Kakegawa Tea Ale.
What Does It Taste Like?
According to the caption, the result layers the fragrant aroma of Kakegawa tea with the bright character of a saison, then a fuller, tea-leaf-derived bitterness that is different from hops gradually spreads through the finish. Another point noted is that when the temperature rises a little, the tea-leaf aroma opens up and the flavor gains more depth.
It was reportedly well received at the recent Kakegawa Craft Beer Festa, and it is now being served at the brewery as well. Note that it is not being sold in cans, so if you want to drink it, you will want to enjoy it on draft at 3TREE BREWERY.
