Fukamushi — deep steamed

Ichibancha Fukamushi is a premium green tea with a rich, intense flavor with notes of butter sweetness and umami. Ichibancha means first tea and refers to the first harvest of tea leaves in a given year, which takes place in spring. It is the most prized because the leaves are then the most delicate and have the most nutrients.

The uniqueness of this tea is complemented by the Fukamushi process, which means deep steaming. The tea leaves are brewed longer than in the case of other teas, which allows for the extraction of a more intense flavor and aroma. In addition, thanks to the Fukamushi process, the tea contains a higher amount of catechins, which are powerful antioxidants that, among other things, delay the aging process and can inhibit the development of cancer.

The leaves from which Ichibancha Fukamushi tea is made are shaded for several weeks before harvest. This technique, called Kabuse, increases the content of L-theanine in the leaves, thanks to which the tea has a relaxing effect and improves concentration.

It is characterized by an intensely lime color of the infusion and a rich flavor with notes of butter sweetness and umami.

Due to the higher theine content, we recommend drinking Ichibancha Fukamushi in the first half of the day.

Pay attention to this:

Ichibancha Fukamushi tea consists of very small leaves, which after brewing can clog

the strainers in teapots. In Japan, teapots are even made that are better suited to long-steamed tea. They have a finer, more efficient strainer, and sometimes a specially shaped bottom.

After brewing the tea, pollen may appear at the bottom. However, there is nothing to worry about and you can safely drink it. Consuming this pollen has its positive health aspects – it contains substances that are not present in a regular, clear infusion, such as beta-carotene and dietary fiber.
