Fukamushi Sencha Green

In Japanese, Fukamushi Tea or Fukamushi Cha (深蒸し茶), refers to a style of sencha that involves deep steaming, compared to its lightly steamed sencha counterparts. It is steamed nearly twice as long as other styles of sencha green. As a result, some prefer Fukamushi's bolder, sweeter, richer taste. The deep steaming process reduces any raw grassy taste or astringent mouthfeel of the finished tea, for a sweeter cup with greater body, robust vegetal flavour.
