It is highly regarded for its exceptional quality and distinct flavor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \"Fukamushi\" in its name refers to the deep steaming process the tea leaves undergo during production. Compared to regular sencha, Fukamushi sencha is steamed for a longer duration, usually around 1-2 minutes. This extended steaming time results in finely broken leaves and a powdery appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe deep steaming technique used for Kakegawa Fukamushi Ichiban Sencha leads to a unique flavor profile. It enhances the tea's umami, resulting in a rich, full-bodied taste with a smooth and mellow character. It often carries vegetal notes, along with a slight sweetness and a refreshing aroma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the longer steaming process, the tea leaves of Kakegawa Fukamushi Ichiban Sencha are smaller and more fragmented compared to regular sencha. This allows for a faster infusion and extraction of flavors during brewing, resulting in a vibrant and intensely flavorful cup of tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKakegawa Fukamushi Ichiban Sencha is typically brewed using slightly cooler water compared to other green teas. The recommended brewing temperature is around 70-80°C (158-176°F). This lower temperature helps to prevent any bitterness and allows the tea's delicate flavors to shine through, providing a pleasant and satisfying tea-drinking experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eOverview\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand : Otsuka Green Tea Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Form : Loose Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlavor : Sencha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTea Variety : Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Count : 10.5822 Ounce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"OtsukaGreenTeaCo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43913603579955,"sku":"B0BBLSTNBX","price":62.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0665\/6062\/2643\/files\/71_Zdcc0PCL._SX679.jpg?v=1768529322","url":"https:\/\/havenhuewellness.com\/products\/b0bblstnbx","provider":"Haven \u0026 Hues Wellness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
