Fukujyu Sencha

Fukujyu Sencha – Light, Sweet Japanese Sencha with Oceanic Notes

Sencha is the most popular tea in Japan: a steamed green tea that is typically bright, grassy, fresh and lightly astringent. Fukujyu Sencha is regarded as one of the finest exported senchas, known for its refreshingly sweet and very lightly grassy taste. Its bright green leaves are harvested only from the first and second flushes, when the tea is at its most flavorful, making it a dependable premium green tea for cafes, Japanese restaurants and tea retailers.

Fukujyu Sencha is characteristically light, with very little grassiness. It is sweet and only slightly astringent, but its defining feature is a gentle oceanic quality: savory, seaweed-like, nori-inspired flavors that are soft and complex and add real depth to the cup. The liquor is a bright, fresh green. The aroma is light, sweet and fresh; the flavor refreshingly sweet with very light grassiness; the accents gentle, savory oceanic nori notes; and the finish clean with a slight astringency. It is a well-balanced everyday Japanese green tea, light enough to drink throughout the day while its oceanic complexity keeps it interesting. Green tea is naturally rich in antioxidants and L-theanine, offering a gentle, focused lift. It is best served plain in a kyusu or small teapot, with the leaves re-steeped for more cups, and pairs with sushi, sashimi, miso soup and rice dishes. It also makes a crisp iced green tea.
