NAGOMI Japanese Green Tea Organic Fukamushi Sencha Loose Leaf 70g — Deep-Steamed, Umami-Rich

NAGOMI Organic Fukamushi Sencha is a single-origin, deep-steamed Japanese loose-leaf green tea from Okabe, Shizuoka, delivering a bright, umami-rich cup with smooth astringency.

Harvested in Okabe, Shizuoka from the Yabukita cultivar and grown without synthetic chemicals, this 70g/2.47oz pack highlights the vibrant character of Fukamushicha — a tea steamed longer than ordinary sencha to break down leaf fibers and release richer color, flavor, and soluble compounds. Small-batch production and partner-farm craftsmanship emphasize traceability and freshness, making each tin a concentrated expression of terroir and traditional Japanese technique.

How does deep-steaming change the flavor compared with regular sencha?

Extended steaming softens leaves and promotes extraction of amino acids and catechins, producing a fuller mouthfeel, pronounced umami, and a vivid green liquor. Bitterness is moderated so the cup feels smoother while still offering classic sencha brightness.

• Longer steam increases soluble nutrients and color for a richer infusion
• Yabukita cultivar balances aroma, umami, and gentle bitterness
• Deep-steamed leaves yield a fuller body and shorter second steeping time

What’s the best way to brew NAGOMI Fukamushi Sencha for maximum flavor?

Use 5 g of leaves per 6–7 ounces of water. Start with lower water temperatures and shorter steep times to highlight sweet umami, then increase slightly for subsequent infusions.

• First infusion: 160°F (70°C) for 60–75 seconds
• Second infusion: 175°F (80°C) for about 10 seconds
• Cold-brew option (mizudashi) yields a naturally sweeter, less astringent cup

What makes this tea organic and traceable from farm to cup?

This sencha is cultivated without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers and processed in small batches by a trusted partner farm in Okabe. Complete traceability means you can follow origin and production practices that prioritize sustainability and traditional craftsmanship.

• Certified organic farming practices — no synthetic chemicals
• Small-batch production preserves freshness and seasonal character
• Partner farm transparency ensures provenance and quality control

How versatile is this tea for hot and cold preparations?

NAGOMI Fukamushi Sencha performs well hot or cold: warm brewing highlights savory umami and balanced astringency, while cold-brewing softens bitterness and enhances natural sweetness. Both methods extract the tea’s catechins and flavor differently, so you can tailor the experience to the moment.

• Hot brew to emphasize depth, aroma, and traditional flavor
• Cold brew (mizudashi) for a mellow, sweet, low-bitterness infusion
• Quick second steeps reward you with concentrated flavor in seconds

Who is this for? NAGOMI Organic Fukamushi Sencha is ideal for tea lovers who value single-origin traceability, organic farming, and a deeply flavored green tea that remains smooth and approachable. It suits daily rituals and mindful tasting sessions alike — from someone exploring Japanese teas for the first time to an experienced connoisseur seeking a reliable, small-batch sencha with clear brewing guidance and seasonal freshness.
