Sencha Fukamushi Superior

Our Sencha Fukamushi Superior has a smooth and mellow taste and refreshing aroma which is a perfect balance of quality and value. The harmony of flavour is excellent.

Tea leaves of our Sencha Fukamushi Superior are shaded from sunlight for a short time, about 5 to 7 days just before harvest, to enhance the smooth taste and deepen sweetness. This item is finished with Fukamushi and shaded from sunlight for a short time so that this Sencha Fukamushi Superior has a mellow sweet taste.
This Sencha Fukamushi Superior's taste and aroma is a truly excellent value, considering the price. We would like you to enjoy the unique mellow taste and refreshing aroma - a perfect balance of the special advantages of both Sencha and shaded tea. And a reasonable price too.

Fukamushi' Sencha is also suitable for Iced Sencha because it's quickly and easily extracted in hot or cold water and always makes a flavorful cup of tea.
And the nutritious constituent of tea leaves is easily extracted into cups.

Sencha Fukamushi is brewed in a shorter time than standard steamed Sencha (finished in the traditional Uji/Kyoto style). For a really tasty cup of tea, brew Sencha Fukamushi for 40 to 45 seconds. If you brew for a longer time, unfortunately, you feel a little bitter taste.

About Us

A long time ago in ancient Japan, green tea was considered a precious medicine. With the advent of new harvesting and processing techniques, it soon became the country's most popular beverage. Today, green tea is enjoyed around the world for many reasons. Thanks to a wide variety of foods and nutritional information now available, people are more selective about what they chose to eat and drink. Because of this, people are choosing to enjoy the healthful benefits and wonderfully fresh flavor of Japanese green tea.

Hibiki-an is surrounded by the rolling hills of Uji, in the ancient city of Kyoto, where the Japanese tradition of green tea began over 1,000 years ago. Today, in Japan, when people think of high quality green tea, they think of Uji. The misty climate, sloping hills, warm days and cool nights provide an ideal setting for tea plants to thrive. If you take a train to Kyoto, you will pass many beautiful green tea farms in Uji, and you can sample the wide variety of delicious green teas that are available at specialty shops and restaurants in the area.

In the past, it was nearly impossible to distribute fresh green tea outside Japan, because it was more difficult to preserve than black tea or Chinese green tea.
But now, you can experience the taste and health benefits of fresh Japanese green tea anywhere in the world! All of our teas are grown, harvested and packaged right here on our family tea farm in Uji. Through meticulous quality control procedures, we have made it possible for international customers to receive fresh green tea in excellent condition.

Online direct sales enable us to offer you a lower price by eliminating the extra costs associated with wholesalers and distributors. You will not find a Japanese green tea of this superior quality for a lower price anywhere.

We named our site "Japanese Green Tea Hibiki-an" in wishing that Japanese tea culture will gain more popularity throughout the world. "Hibiki" in Japanese means "touching someone's heart." It brings us great happiness to know that Japanese tea culture can touch people's hearts around the world.
