Sencha Fukujyu is a premium green tea from Japan, known for its fresh, delicate flavour and vibrant green colour. It is one of the most popular varieties of sencha, which refers to a type of Japanese tea made from whole leaves that are steamed, rolled, and dried. The steaming process preserves the tea’s bright green colour and imparts a characteristic vegetal and slightly grassy flavour that enthusiasts cherish.
Fukujyu, in particular, is prized for its smooth, well-rounded taste, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and slight astringency. Its aroma is both fresh and grassy, evoking the essence of a spring garden, and its flavour is full-bodied yet not overpowering. The tea has a refreshing quality, with subtle notes of seaweed and a mild, savoury umami undertone, which is characteristic of high-quality Japanese green teas.
This tea is rich in antioxidants, which are known to provide various health benefits, including boosting metabolism, promoting heart health, and enhancing overall immunity. Additionally, Sencha Fukujyu contains moderate amounts of caffeine, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a gentle energy boost without the jitters that coffee might cause.
To prepare the perfect cup of Sencha Fukujyu, it is essential to brew it at a lower temperature, around 70–80°C (160–175°F), to avoid bitterness and preserve its delicate flavours. The tea is traditionally enjoyed without milk or sugar, allowing its pure, natural flavours to shine. Sencha Fukujyu is an ideal choice for tea lovers who appreciate a refreshing, nuanced green tea experience from Japan's revered tea culture.
