Shizuoka Prefecture Kakegawa Production First Harvest Tea 100 Green Leaves Deep Steamed Kabuse Covered Superior 100gExtreme 1 Bag

The Fukamushi Kakegawa Tea series is the highest grade of tea. Every spring, just before the buds are picked, a shading net is placed over the tea fields for a few days to block strong sunlight, allowing the tea buds to grow in the shade, resulting in covered tea. By shading the tea fields, the chlorophyll in the tea leaves increases, resulting in a deep green color and a refined aroma similar to Gyokuro, which is unique to shaded tea. Fukamushi tea is made by steaming for 2 to 3 times longer than regular tea, making it easier for the tea components to be extracted, resulting in a rich and flavorful green tea with less astringency. Kakegawa City, often featured on television as a city of longevity, has many residents who drink Fukamushi tea. The longer steaming time allows nutrients from the tea leaves, which normally do not dissolve, to be included in the tea. In Kakegawa, where there are hilly terrains, tea with thick leaves is cultivated, making it well-suited for the Fukamushi method, and it is widely known as a production area for delicious Fukamushi tea.
