Discover the traditional taste of Japanese green tea with Otsuka Seicha Kakegawa Fukamushi First Flush Sencha, a deep-steamed Japanese green tea described as naturally cultivated.

This tea is associated with Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture, a well-known Japanese tea-producing area celebrated for its deep-steamed green tea tradition.

Otsuka Seicha offers Japanese tea products connected with the rich tea culture of Shizuoka.

This product is described as Shizen Saibai (Naturally Cultivated), referring to the cultivation method identified in the product name.

It is also described as Ichiban Sencha, a first-harvest Japanese green tea traditionally associated with the first tea-picking season of the year.

The tea uses the Fukamushi (Deep-Steaming) style, in which tea leaves are steamed for a longer period than conventional sencha.

This traditional processing method helps soften the leaves and produces the characteristic rich green infusion associated with Fukamushi green tea.

Deep-steamed sencha is appreciated for its full-bodied tea character, distinctive green color, and pleasant Japanese green tea flavor.

Fine tea particles may appear in the brewed tea, giving Fukamushi sencha its characteristic slightly cloudy appearance.

Enjoy this Japanese green tea hot or cold. It can be brewed in a traditional Japanese teapot or prepared as refreshing iced green tea.

The 300g quantity is suitable for regular tea drinking at home, in the office, or during relaxing tea breaks.

Whether enjoyed with Japanese meals, traditional sweets, or on its own, this tea offers a way to experience the tea culture of Kakegawa, Shizuoka, Japan.

πŸƒ What Is Kakegawa Fukamushi Tea?

Kakegawa is a city in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, widely associated with Japanese green tea production.

The area is especially known for its Fukamushi-cha, or deep-steamed green tea.

Fukamushi tea undergoes a longer steaming process than standard Japanese sencha.

The longer steaming time softens the tea leaves, making them more delicate.

When brewed, fine tea particles may enter the infusion, producing a characteristic rich green appearance.

Fukamushi sencha is appreciated for its full-bodied character and distinctive Japanese green tea flavor.
