Description
Fukujyu Sencha – Light, Sweet & Oceanic Japanese SenchaSencha is Japan's most popular tea — a steamed green tea that's typically bright, grassy, fresh and lightly astringent. Fukujyu Sencha is considered one of the finest exported senchas, known for its refreshingly sweet, very light grassy taste. Its bright green leaves are harvested only from the first and second flushes, when the tea is at its most flavorful. Fukujyu Sencha is characteristically light, with very little grassiness. It's sweet and only slightly astringent, but what truly sets it apart are its gentle oceanic notes — savory, seaweed-like, nori-inspired flavors that are soft and complex, adding wonderful depth to the cup. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItFukujyu Sencha is a beautifully balanced everyday Japanese green tea. Its lightness makes it easy to drink throughout the day, while its oceanic complexity keeps it interesting. Green tea offers a fresh, gentle cup.
How to EnjoyEnjoy it plain in a kyusu or small teapot and re-steep the leaves for additional cups. It pairs perfectly with sushi, sashimi, miso soup and rice dishes, and makes a crisp, refreshing iced green tea. Light, sweet and wonderfully complex, Fukujyu Sencha is a refreshing taste of Japan. |

A little steeping tipLet just-boiled water cool for a minute or two — water that’s too hot can turn delicate leaves bitter. Good leaves give a lovely second cup, too.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
