What Is Deep Steamed Sencha?
In traditional Japanese tea processing, steaming time determines flavor and texture.
| Steaming Level | Steaming Time | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Light Steamed | 20–40 sec | Clear taste, higher astringency |
| Normal Steamed | 40–60 sec | Balanced flavor |
| Deep Steamed (Fukamushi) | 60+ sec | Richer body, less bitterness, deep green liquor |
Deep steaming breaks down leaf fibers, making leaves finer and slightly powdery in appearance. While the dry leaves may look less uniform, the brewed tea produces:
-
Deep emerald green color
-
Thicker body
-
Smoother mouthfeel
-
Reduced astringency
-
Pronounced sweetness
