Sakao Kukicha Green Tea (50G)

This green tea from our plantation in Shizuoka comes from the first harvest. It contains different parts of the plant, leaves and stems, and is put though a steaming process. This deep steaming makes all the difference and ensures that Sencha Fukamushi is superior to regular Sencha. Sencha is steamed with heat to stop the oxidation of the leaves, and this for a longer period of time than regular Sencha (1-2 minutes), which gives it a deep, vegetal flavour and a deep green colour. It is rich in catechin, an antioxidant known for its anti-aging and anti-cancer properties.
