FUKAMUSHI SENCHA

Fukamushi Sencha is a deeply steamed Japanese sencha with a rich flavour, bright green infusion and characteristic silky texture. This processing style is the hallmark of the Shizuoka region, where masters have perfected the art of steam processing. Fukamushi (深蒸し) means ‘deep steamed,’ and it is this technique that makes the tea particularly mellow, sweet, and rich.

Origin and processing
Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan, but Fukamushi Sencha occupies a special place in this category. The leaves are steamed longer than usual - about twice as long as classic sencha. This technology was developed in Shizuoka, a region where fog, humidity and a mild climate create ideal conditions for growing tea bushes.
Deep steam treatment makes the leaves more fragile, so they partially break down into small fragments. This is not a disadvantage, but a feature that allows the tea to release its flavour faster and more intensely, creating a dense, bright green infusion with a characteristic Japanese freshness.

Flavour profile
Fukamushi Sencha is a tea that surprises with its depth and smoothness at the same time.
•     Aroma: fresh, grassy, with notes of sea breeze and young greenery.
•     Taste: rich, sweetish, with a characteristic Japanese ‘umami’ note and soft vegetal freshness.
• Texture: silky, dense, almost creamy - a hallmark of deeply steamed sencha.
• Aftertaste: clean, refreshing, long, with a slight sweetness.
This tea is ideal for those who love bright, rich Japanese green teas, but also appreciate softness and the absence of bitterness.

How to brew
To bring out the full harmony of Fukamushi Sencha, it is important to observe the water temperature.
•     Temperature: 70-75°C
•     Amount: 3-4 g per 200 ml
•     Time: 45-60 seconds
Thanks to the fine structure of the leaves, the tea brews quickly, so it is best to start with short brewing times. Fukamushi Sencha can withstand several infusions, each of which reveals new flavour nuances.
