FUKAMUSHI SENCHA 01 GREEN TEA

Experience the vibrant energy of Kagoshima with our Premium Fukamushi Sencha. Crafted from the youngest, most tender tea leaves, this tea is a testament to the unique terroir of Southern Japan. In Kagoshima, the first rays of the spring sun bathe the plantations, resulting in firm, nutrient-dense leaves. While volcanic soil is found throughout Japan, it is nowhere as abundant as here. This fertile earth, combined with significant temperature shifts between day and night, grants the tea an exceptionally sweet umami profile and mineral freshness.

What makes it "Fukamushi"?
The term Fukamushi (深蒸し) means "deep-steamed." While traditional Sencha is steamed for 30–60 seconds, Fukamushi undergoes a process twice or even three times as long.

Appearance: The extended steaming makes the leaves fragile; you will notice smaller particles in the package. This is not a defect—it is the secret to its intense flavor!

Color: Once brewed, the liquor is not a transparent yellow, but a vivid, deep emerald green.

Flavor: Deep-steaming softens the natural astringency, highlighting a creamy texture and a lingering sweetness.

The Kagoshima Advantage
Kagoshima is Japan’s second-largest tea region. The active Sakurajima volcano enriches the soil with minerals (volcanic ash), while the warm climate produces incredibly aromatic tea leaves.
