Sencha Fukamushi-Cha

A long-steamed Sencha from Yame with a dense cup

This Sencha comes from Yame, a well-known region for Japanese green tea in Fukuoka. It presents itself directly, green, and prominent – a tea for days when your cup can be calm but with a noticeable body.

In the cup, it shows a deep green hue, a soft texture, and a rich umami profile with subtle sweetness. The vegetal aftertaste lingers gently and gives the tea its clear, green outline.

Fukamushi, the long steaming, gives this Sencha more presence in the cup and moves it towards a denser green tea profile. The leaves were grown in full sunlight, which complements its direct, sun-kissed character.

This tea uses Yabukita and Okumidori. The two Japanese green tea cultivars come together here in a prominent, fuller-bodied Sencha preparation.
