Fukamushi Sencha (Deep-Steamed)

Steamed two to three times longer than conventional sencha, a technique developed in Shizuoka to suit leaves grown in more sun-exposed conditions. The extended steaming breaks down the cell structure, producing a deep green, almost opaque liquor with rich umami and reduced vegetal sharpness.
