Takaokaya Japanese FUKAMUSHI-CHA Green Tea and 21 similar items

Green tea is a highly popular beverage in Japan, where it is both produced and consumed extensively. On average, around 142,977 metric tons of tea leaves are consumed in Japan each year. Compared to green teas from other countries, Japanese green teas are easily recognizable due to their rich, dark green leaves. The unique color and flavor are achieved by steaming the leaves immediately after plucking and then air-drying them to preserve their freshness. This two-step process captures the essence of the leaves, resulting in a refreshing and pleasant beverage that is almost like having the leaves plucked directly off the plant. Fukamushi-cha green tea is known for its rich aroma and strong flavor. This is achieved through a deep steaming process, which is longer than that of regular green teas. The term "Fukamushi" refers to this longer steaming process, which leads to more broken leaves. Despite this, Fukamushi Sencha maintains a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness, making it a popular choice among tea enthusiasts.
