Sencha Fukamushi Kyoto Style
Shincha Sencha Fukamushi Kyoto Style, deep steamed and shaded from sunlight, from Uji, Kyoto, Japan. A very expressive refreshing mellow Sencha with a beautiful bright emerald green color.
Shincha Sencha Fukamushi Kyoto Style, shadowed from the sun. The varieties used are Yabukita, Okumidori and others. This sencha has a smooth and mellow taste and refreshing fragrance. The tea "soup" is light green, unlike most sencha's that produce a yellow 'soup'. The tea leaves of this sencha are shaded from the sun for a period of about 5 to 7 days just before the harvest, to deepen the taste and sweetness, for a nice balance between the sweetness of shade grown tea and freshness of sencha. The tea is steamed longer than common sencha, or deep steamed sencha, the result is that the tea gives off its flavor very easily. This tea is very suitable for iced tea, because of its short migration time, both 'cold brew' and 'hot brew'
