Fukamushicha “Asahi” is an exclusive Japanese green tea made from the highly regarded Asahi cultivar, known for its elegant sweetness and deep umami character. The tea is deep-steamed — “fukamushi” — meaning the leaves are steamed for longer than those of a traditional Sencha to bring out a fuller, richer and more intense flavour profile.
This gentle yet extended steaming gives the infusion a beautiful deep green colour and a slightly fuller body with a light cloudiness. Fukamushicha “Asahi” offers a rounded, balanced flavour with pronounced umami, silky sweetness and subtle notes of fresh green leaves and mild cereal grains.
The more delicate leaves, a result of the longer steaming, create an intense yet soft and smooth experience in the cup. Fukamushicha “Asahi” is particularly appreciated for its harmonious character, full-bodied texture and inviting, fresh aroma.
For this tea, we suggest that you try the traditional Chinese Gong FU style to brew your tea. The idea behind this technology is to use greater proportions of tea leaves for water and very short break times. By using more tea leaves and having very short brewing, you only manage to extract parts of the entire taste spectrum. The tea can then be enjoyed in so -called "sections", which gives a much more nuanced experience. As the taste develops gradually and it is much more leaves, this contributes to a much more intense taste than when brewing in Western style.
