sencha fukamushi

$17.00

sencha fukamushi, a deep steamed first harvest or “ichibancha” japanese green tea, offers a vibrant cup brimming with rich, umami flavors gently balanced by a subtle sweetness. deep steaming breaks up leaves and results in a rich, cloudy, vibrant green brew and requires a shorter brewing time than a standard sencha. the easier extraction also means this tea is perfect for cold brewing.

the leaves are carefully shaded for 5-7 days before harvest, a technique that enhances amino acid (l-theanine) production and softens any bitterness by ensuring leaves are tender and thin. this meticulous process results in a tea that's smooth and full-bodied, perfect for those who savor a complex, nourishing brew with every sip.

season: spring 2025

cultivar: yabukita, sayamakaori and saemidori

origin: kyoto / uji, japan

processing / harvest: machine trimmed

elevation: varied
