Organic Kagoshima Sencha Yuuki Yutaka

Description

One of the very best organically cultivated deep steamed green teas you are ever likely to come across. Yuuki Yutaka, organically cultivated on the one farm in Kagoshima prefecture, is taken from the very first harvest of the year. Yutakamidori is the main tea bush varietal used, along with the well-revered saemidori breed. Never lacking in taste, this fukamushi is a sweet flavorful indulgence that is truly something to savor!

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!
