Product description Fukamushi Sencha Green Tea Fukamushi Sencha is a premium Japanese green tea known for its unique deep-steaming method. Unlike regular sencha, which is lightly steamed, Fukamushi leaves undergo a longer steaming process of 60 to 90 seconds. This softens the leaves and breaks them down into a finer, almost powdery texture, creating a brewed tea with a richer, more full-bodied flavor. The extended steaming also brings out a vibrant green color and enhances the tea’s natural sweetness, complemented by a subtle astringency. Its aroma is fresh and grassy, with delicate vegetal undertones, offering a smooth yet complex taste that sets it apart from traditional green teas. To brew, use slightly cooler water, around 70–80°C (158–176°F), and steep for just 30–60 seconds to preserve its nuanced flavors. Fukamushi Sencha can be enjoyed hot or iced, making it a versatile choice for a relaxing moment or a refreshing midday pick-me-up.
