Ocha & Co. Organic Fukamushi Sencha Loose Leaf Green Tea — 100g Vacuum-Sealed, Deep-Steamed Intense Flavor

Ocha & Co. Organic Fukamushi Tea is a deep-steamed loose-leaf sencha from Shizuoka that pours an intense green cup with rich flavor and vacuum-sealed freshness.

This 100g (3.5oz) pouch contains organic Fukamushicha — a premium sencha that undergoes extra steaming to break down leaf fibers and release more flavor and soluble components into the brew. Grown on award-winning mountainous plantations in Shizuoka, Japan, this tea is blended and packed in small batches to preserve aroma, color, and character. The result is a vibrant, full-bodied green tea with a crisp, clean finish suited for daily brewing or special tea moments.

What makes Fukamushi sencha different from regular sencha?

Fukamushi means "deep-steamed," a processing step where leaves spend more time in the steam chamber. That extra steam softens the leaves more than standard sencha, producing finer particles and a brighter, cloudier liquor with stronger flavor extraction.

• Deeper steaming breaks down leaf structure for quicker infusion and fuller taste.
• Creates a vivid green cup with a naturally fuller body and umami notes.
• Leaves appear more fragmented, giving a slightly opaque brew and faster steep time.

How should I brew Ocha & Co. Fukamushi for best flavor?

Fukamushi steeps quickly and responds well to slightly lower temperatures to preserve sweetness and reduce bitterness. Use filtered water, 70–80°C (160–175°F), and a short first infusion to enjoy bright, balanced flavor.

• Measure 2–3g tea per 150ml water (about 1 teaspoon for a small cup).
• Pour water cooled to 70–80°C; steep 30–60 seconds for the first infusion.
• Increase steep time by 15–30 seconds for each subsequent infusion; leaves allow multiple brews.

Why choose Ocha & Co. organic Fukamushicha for daily sipping or gifts?

Ocha & Co. combines organic cultivation with careful blending to produce a dependable, vibrant tea that suits everyday enjoyment and elevated occasions. The vacuum-sealed pouch preserves freshness, while the Shizuoka origin gives traceable quality and regional character.

• Vacuum-sealed small-batch packing to lock in aroma and color.

Can Fukamushi be used in recipes or cold-brewed?

Yes — the concentrated, flavorful liquor of Fukamushicha translates well to culinary uses and cold brewing. Its pronounced green color and depth suit iced teas, matcha-style lattes, or simple culinary infusions without overpowering other ingredients.

• Cold-brew: 2–3g per 150ml, steep in the fridge for 4–6 hours for a smooth, low-bitterness iced tea.
• Use brewed concentrate in milk or plant-based lattes for vivid color and flavor.
• Infuse syrups or custards briefly for green tea aroma in desserts.

Who is this for: This organic Fukamushi sencha suits tea lovers who want a robust green tea with clear Japanese provenance, anyone seeking a reliable everyday premium leaf, and cooks or bartenders exploring green-tea flavors. It’s ideal for people who prefer a vivid, umami-forward cup that steeps quickly and performs well across hot and cold preparations.
