Dammann Frères Sencha Fukuyu Tea Bags

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Sencha Fukuyu is a beautifully composed green tea that captures the essence of freshness and clarity. As it steeps in the Cristal® sachet, 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. There is an immediate vegetal freshness—notes of tender greens and lightly steamed leaves—followed by a gentle sweetness that softens the profile. Unlike more robust green teas, this sencha remains smooth and approachable, with no harsh bitterness when brewed correctly.

A faint umami character begins to emerge as the tea develops, adding depth and roundness to the cup. This savory nuance is delicate rather than pronounced, contributing to a balanced and harmonious profile. The texture is light and clean, gliding effortlessly across the palate.

As the infusion lingers, a soft, slightly sweet finish remains, accompanied by a refreshing clarity that feels both cleansing and revitalizing. The Cristal® sachet allows the leaves to fully expand, ensuring a precise and expressive infusion without muddiness.

This is a green tea that feels composed and versatile—equally suited for daily enjoyment or more mindful moments of pause.

Brew this ideally at 80°C. Steep for 2–3 minutes.
