About [Sugimoto Tea] Sencha Fukamushi, Authentic Japanese
Young leaves of spring and early summer from the Kakegawa region of Shizuoka come together to make Japan’s most traditional loose leaf green tea. Using fresh leaves grown in a sustainable way that has been recognized as a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System by the UN, our Sencha is deep-steamed in the fukamushi style characteristic of Shizuoka and finished with a high roasting; the specialty of the Sugimoto Family. The longer steaming and high heat finishing brings out a rich aroma and lingering umami finish, consistent even after multiple steepings. Sencha Fukamushi Overview: Sencha Fukamushi is a classic form of Japanese green tea that is deep steamed. The deep steaming process breaks apart the leaves and cell walls, allowing for more nutrients to steep into the water and creating a cloudy brew. It is the traditional style of Shizuoka tea and the favorite style in Japan due to its rich umami flavor. Steeping Instructions: For best results, brew using a traditional Japanese teapot (kyusu) with a wide belt style inner mesh. Use 1 Tablespoon (5 grams) of Sencha in 10 Ounces of hot water (175 F or below) and steep for 30-60 seconds.
