Yame Fukamushi-Cha – Deep-Steamed Green Tea from Japan's Premium Region

 

1. A Tea That Combines Depth and Gentleness

This Fukamushi-Cha from Yame opens the door to a particularly intense form of Japanese green tea.

From the very first infusion, it reveals a rich, vibrant green cup – a sign of the deep steaming that gives this tea its extraordinary fullness.

The aroma is reminiscent of fresh leaves after a warm spring rain.

The taste: smooth, sweet, full-bodied, yet amazingly mild and without any bitterness.

A tea that provides warmth, soothes, and at the same time is filled with deep umami.

 

2. Flavor Profile

• Aroma: green, fresh, slightly sweet

• Taste: full, smooth, rich in umami

• Texture: velvety and rich

• Aftertaste: clean, green, gently sweet

The deep steaming ensures that the leaf almost melts creamily in the water – a typically luxurious Fukamushi experience.

 

3. Origin – Yame, Fukuoka

Yame is one of Japan's most renowned regions for high-quality green teas.

The interplay of:

✔ nutrient-rich mountains

✔ humid air

✔ misty valleys and clear streams

creates a climate that produces tea leaves that develop particularly rich umami and natural sweetness.

Yame teas have been recognized for their quality for decades – and this Fukamushi-Cha perfectly demonstrates why.

 

4. Special Feature – Deep Steaming ("Fukamushi") for Intense Aroma

"Fukamushi" means deep-steamed.

The tea leaf is treated with steam for a longer and more intense period than with other Senchas – an artistic method that:

• intensifies the color,

• highlights the sweetness,

• releases a full-bodied, rich aroma,

• and results in a particularly aromatic cup, even with short brewing times.

The leaf is more finely broken, but it is precisely from this that the characteristic, rich green tea infusion arises, delighting connoisseurs.

 

5. Preparation Recommendation

 

For a harmonious taste experience:

• 6 g to 180 ml

• 70–80 °C

• 1st infusion: 30 seconds

• 2nd infusion: 20 seconds

Tip: A slightly lower temperature enhances the sweetness and makes the tea particularly smooth.

 

6. A Tea for Connoisseurs Seeking Depth

The Yame Fukamushi-Cha combines the elegance of its origin with the richness of deep steaming.

A tea that reveals sweetness, umami, and Japanese craftsmanship in every cup.

Ideal for your daily ritual – or as a moment of tranquility that only a true premium green tea can provide.
