Product description Deep-Steamed Fukamushi Sencha Richer Umami, Smoother Taste — The Power of Deep Steaming Most sencha is lightly steamed. Fukamushi sencha is steamed up to three times longer — breaking down the leaf cell walls and unlocking a deeper, richer umami that lighter steaming simply cannot achieve. The result: a vivid golden liquor, a silky texture, and a naturally sweet finish that sets this Japanese green tea loose leaf apart from anything else in its class. Tea fields in Kakegawa Shizuoka Japan, GIAHS certified farming region with morning mist from Mt. Awaga Japan's Award-Winning Tea Region — UN FAO Recognized Heritage Kakegawa is home to Chagusaba farming — a 150-year tradition recognized by the United Nations FAO as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS). Morning mist rolling from Mt. Awaga naturally shades the tea plants, concentrating amino acids and deepening the umami.

Brew It Right — Fukamushi Sencha Is Different from Regular Green Tea 3 Steps. 3 Cups. One Teaspoon. Step 1 — Measure Add 1 tsp (5g) of loose leaf sencha per 6–8 oz of water. No strainer required — the fine fukamushi leaves settle naturally. Step 2 — Temperature Heat water to 167–176°F (75–80°C). Never use boiling water — high heat destroys the amino acids responsible for umami and sweetness. Step 3 — Steep Pour and steep for 45–60 seconds. Re-steep 2–3 times; each cup reveals a new layer of flavor. Pro tip — Cold Brew Place 1 tsp in 10 oz cold water, refrigerate for 4–6 hours. Smooth, naturally sweet iced sencha with zero bitterness.
