Fukamushicha “Kanro” comes from Kakegawa in Shizuoka, an area particularly renowned for its deep-steamed green teas. It is made from Yabukita, Japan’s most traditional tea cultivar.
Fukamushicha means “deep-steamed tea”. During production, the leaves are steamed for longer than those of a traditional Sencha. This breaks down their structure, creating a fuller, smoother cup with a deep green colour and an almost broth-like mouthfeel.
Kanro has a pronounced yet balanced vegetal character. When brewed hot, it opens with a sweet aroma of marzipan, sweetcorn and fresh green vegetables. The flavour is full-bodied and smooth, with hints of cauliflower and a gentle, starchy sweetness. The silky opening gradually gives way to an elegant astringency that lingers on the palate.
When cold-brewed, the tea becomes fresher and more delicate. Floral notes, watermelon rind and sea breeze emerge alongside barley, wheat and a subtle nuttiness. The finish is long, gently sweet and floral.
The name Kanro (甘露) can be translated as “sweet dew” or “nectar”, reflecting the tea’s soft, lingering sweetness.
For this tea, we suggest that you try the traditional Chinese Gong FU style to brew your tea. The idea behind this technology is to use greater proportions of tea leaves for water and very short break times. By using more tea leaves and having very short brewing, you only manage to extract parts of the entire taste spectrum. The tea can then be enjoyed in so -called "sections", which gives a much more nuanced experience. As the taste develops gradually and it is much more leaves, this contributes to a much more intense taste than when brewing in Western style.
