Organic Sencha “7132” – Grown organically in Shizuoka, this fukamushi (deep steamed) sencha has a dark green color and cloudy consistency – as deep steamed green tea should. “7132” refers to the particular clone of green tea plant this product is derived from and is usually steamed lightly making this is a rather seldom encountered green tea. Some stems were left in this product purposefully to make a more complex flavor profile. As typical with fukamushi green tea, many of the leaf particles are also very fine, almost dust-like, so a teapot with a very fine infuser screen would work best with this green tea (you may want to take a look at our teapots designed with fukamushi in mind). This is a particularly delicious, easy to drink green tea which beginners and seasoned connoisseurs will surely enjoy!
As with all of our loose leaf green teas, packaged in nitrogen flushed packaging.
Brewed at low temperatures, this turns out to be a mild and pleasant fuka. It has the usual elements of an O-Cha fuka (vegetal, brothy, grassy, swampwater-green in appearance), but in a more muted form than others. Quite pleasant.
