Description

Sencha Fukamushi is the signature expression of our tea making philosophy. Crafted for daily enjoyment, it reflects eight decades of hands-on practice and careful attention at every stage of production.

This sencha is steamed in the fukamushi, or deep-steamed, style common to Shizuoka, Japan, allowing the leaves to break down more fully and release a rich, vivid character in the cup. It is then finished at a higher drying temperature (火入れ・hi-ire), a defining approach of the Sugimoto family that brings depth, warmth, and consistency to the tea.

The result is a sencha with a full body, pronounced aroma, and a lingering umami finish that remains satisfying through multiple infusions. Balanced and dependable, it is a tea made not for a single moment, but for everyday brewing.

About the New Packaging
The central motif of our new packaging is the mizuhiki knot. Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord, used to mark moments of gratitude, respect, and connection. On our packaging, it serves as a quiet symbol of these values.

To us, the mizuhiki represents the relationships that shape our tea, from the growers who cultivate the leaves, to our own team who carefully finish and pack them, and ultimately to those who enjoy them. Each knot reflects intention and care, reinforcing the idea that tea is not simply a product, but a connection between people, place, and time.

Best of 3 I bought, this beat out the others that cost 50% more, very impressed.

Preference is subjective, I know, so I ill not name drop. But I will say this..... I have drank this variety of Japanese green tea for a very long time and have tried many different varieties. So I was on the hunt for some good and not too expensive Japanese green tea. I bought this item, and two other ones. This one was 10ish dollars, the other 2 were 16ish. Kind of expensive for the amount you get...... but interestingly, this one was far superior in concentration, taste, and value $. I only use a little bit to make a thermos. It is vividly green. I nearly always overdo it because the small amount I put seems like it would not be enough. The other varieties I was putting almost double for the same strength. All three were the same consistency as far as how much the leaves were ground (so it was not a surface area thing). So I decided today to order two more of these. Very happy with this brand. Every time I drink it I am like wow this is good green tea. I think most people that appreciate that special flavor from good Japanese green tea will be impressed with this, especially for the money. I have had almost as good for less money, but it was hard to find most of the places I have lived. And those other brands I recently had that cost 50% more just could not compete IMO.

Five Stars

Excellent quality. Grassy, vibrant. Also good enough for up to 4 infusions. Highly recommended.

Great tea!

Amazing flavor and color! Resealable bag is really nice to retain freshness.

Poor mans delicacy

Save this for a day you want to spoil yourself. It is pricey for the quality, but higher in quality. Not the best you ever had, but worth the buy. I suggest buying 4 bags to keep you set for the month if this is your only stash.

A great loose green tea for your money

This is now my go-to loose green tea. A couple of punches in my tea strainer is all it takes for a flavorful up of green tea. Great value. I switched from the big name producer of loose green tea and have found this brand to be every bit as fresh and flavorful

Delicioso

Tiene un sabor delicado y exquisito. Un precio excelente para la calidad que posee. Invita a una ceremonia de té, aunque no sea matcha.

Perfect! Sooooo Japanese.

I ordered this because I have not traveled to Japan since COVID and was running out of tea. Opened the new bag, spooned some leaves into the tea strainer, and added the hot water. I knew immediately that this was my salvation. The aroma coming from my cup was 100% Japanese, it was fantastic.

The best Sencha I have had. Way surpases my expectation

This tea took my love for green teas to another level. I love the aroma of the tea before it is even brewed. It has a very vegetal taste that blends with the aroma that I cannot get enough of. It is now the standard against which every sencha tea I drink will be measured.

Best Ever

I have been exploring sencha teas for about a year and this is undoubtedly the best sencha I have tasted. It is rich and complex, and it is the only sencha I want to drink!
