Shizuoka Tsuyu Sencha

Shizuoka Tsuyu Sencha – Wholesale First-Harvest Fukamushi Sencha

Shizuoka Tsuyu Sencha is a premium sencha from the first harvest in Shizuoka, the largest and best-known tea region in Japan. Tealyra counts it among the finest naturally grown senchas it has ever carried. This is a fragrant, deep-steamed green tea that combines mellowness with richness and a layered, complex flavor, making it a strong core product for cafes, tea shops and retailers building a Japanese green tea selection.

The deep-steaming process, known as fukamushi, softens the leaves and produces a fuller, rounder cup with lower astringency than lightly steamed senchas. The leaves are brilliant, dark green and needle-shaped, and they yield a fragrant aroma and a translucent green liquor. The finish is surprisingly full-bodied while remaining light, with a sweet umami note. The tea is smooth enough for daily drinking yet complex enough to satisfy green tea connoisseurs, and it is naturally rich in antioxidants and L-theanine.
