What is Fukamushi Sencha?

The technique of deep steaming
creates a mellow, full-bodied taste.

Fukamushi sencha, or “deep-steamed green tea,” has a longer steaming process than regular one.
This unique process softens their astringency and brings out a mellow, full-bodied umami flavor.
The leaves become finer, producing a rich green color when brewed.
Its smooth texture and gentle aroma make it one of the most approachable styles of Japanese tea.
