Dammann Frères Sencha Fukuyu

Sencha Fukuyu is a beautifully composed green tea that highlights freshness and clarity. As the loose leaves unfurl, the infusion reveals a light green-gold liquor, releasing a clean, grassy aroma with subtle marine undertones—hallmarks of well-crafted sencha.

The first sip is bright and invigorating. Notes of tender greens and lightly steamed leaves come forward immediately, delivering a crisp vegetal character that feels both refreshing and grounding. This is followed by a gentle natural sweetness that softens the profile and keeps it approachable.

A delicate umami note begins to emerge as the tea develops, adding depth and a subtle savory quality that enhances the overall balance. This umami presence remains refined and never overpowering, giving the tea a quiet complexity.

The texture is light and fluid, with a clean mouthfeel that leaves no heaviness. When brewed properly, there is no bitterness—only a smooth, refreshing clarity that lingers on the palate.

The loose leaf format allows the tea to fully раскрыть its character, with each infusion revealing slightly different nuances—from brighter vegetal notes to softer, rounder sweetness.

The finish is crisp, gently sweet, and cleansing, making it ideal for repeated enjoyment throughout the day. Brew this ideally at 80°C. Steep for 2–3 minutes.
