Sencha Fukuyu from Japan Order code: TC-035
Top grade Japanese teas, such as this, are produced from bushes which have been shaded from direct sunlight for a period of 20 days immediately prior to picking at the end of May. This process gives the tea an extra sweetness and mildness. Once at the factory, the leaves are steamed, dried and then rolled until they resemble pine needles.
