What is Fukamushi-Cha?

Fukamushi-Cha is deep steamed sencha. The longer steaming process gives fukamushi its notable characteristics. The dry leaf smells sweet, the brewed tea takes on a thick cloudy appearance, and the taste is sweeter and deeper than regularly steamed sencha. On the negative side, fukamushi is considered by some to be inelegant because the dry leaf is mostly broken up due to the longer steaming. However, on the positive side, this results in many tiny leaf particles making their way into the brewed tea, and when organically cultivated this makes for a very healthy cup of green tea!
