Made from a special varietal known as Yutaka Midori, this second flush "deep-steamed" sencha brews a deep lime-green cup with a bold, rich flavor. The leaves of fukamushi tea are steamed longer than standard sencha, resulting in a more intense flavor and less bitterness. Makes a great iced tea.
Origin: Japan, Kagoshima Prefecture, Chiran
Harvest Season: Mid-May 2024
Brewing Guide
Use 2 g (1 tsp.) per 6 oz (175ml) of water. Heat water to 175º F. Let steep 1 minute. Japanese green teas can usually yield 3 infusions. Adjust amount of leaf, brewing time and water temperature according to your personal preference.
In Japan, the custom is to brew Sencha in a kyusu, a traditional Japanese teapot with a side handle. The small size is ideal for brewing multiple infusions from the same leaf.
