Deep Steamed "Fukamushi" Green Tea

fukamushi-cha

Fukamushi Sencha The green teas in this category, known in Japanese as "Fukamushi-cha", or deep steamed green teas, are steamed for a longer period of time than your typical sencha. The period in which any green tea is steam depends on various characteristics, where it was grown, elevation, etc., and not all green teas are suitable for deep steaming.

Loose leaf fukamushi sencha will be very fine, almost dust-like - beginners often misinterpret this to mean an inferior tea, which it is not. When brewed, fukamushi sencha has a somewhat cloudy appearance, a rich and bold taste, and an usually a darker, greener color. As the leaf particles of fukamushi-cha are very fine, it can clog small filters. We recommend your fukamushi teapot have a fine stainless mesh infuser screen which covers the inner spout, and that your teapot be tall, rather than wide (although you can still use most wide teapots with a stainless steel infuser screeen.)
