Organic Fukamushi Sencha Chiran
A full-bodied, powerful, deeply steamed organic Sencha from the Nuruki tea garden in Chiran, one of Kagoshima’s finest tea-growing regions in southern Japan. First harvest, Yabukita cultivar, sourced directly from the tea farm. 100g
Details Alongside Kakegawa, Chiran is renowned as one of Japan’s finest regions for Fukamushi Sencha. These deeply steamed teas have very fine, almost powdery leaves, producing a fuller, richer and more intense infusion. As more of the leaf passes into the cup, you also consume a greater proportion of the whole tea leaf. We recommend using a dedicated Fukamushi Kyusu for brewing (see preparation instructions).

Organic Fukamushi Sencha Chiran

Tea Farm

The fields of Nuruki Seicha lie in the shadow of Mount Kaimon (開聞岳), in southern Chiran and not far from the Sakurajima volcano. For over 20 years, the Nuruki family has been cultivating tea here using organic and holistic farming methods, and has become one of the most highly regarded organic farms in Japan. Now in its third generation, the farm is led by Yuichiro Nuruki. The transition to organic farming was initially a major challenge: In the late 1990s, Chiran was still entirely dominated by conventional agriculture. The family had no prior experience to draw upon, and their bold decision to forgo pesticides altogether was met with scepticism. However, Mr Nuruki’s father remained undeterred, and today the Nuruki Tea Factory proudly produces top quality organic teas, rich in flavour and nutrients. 

Organic Fukamushi Sencha Chiran

Character

Tasting Notes

At our special request, this fine tea was crafted from the versatile, well-balanced Yabukita cultivar. It combines Chiran’s distinctive mineral, volcanic character with the clarity of Yabukita. Deep steaming gives the Sencha a powerful, rich and almost savoury character, complemented by a pronounced yet elegant bitterness. An excellent choice for those who enjoy the full-bodied Fukamushi teas of southern Kagoshima, with a bittersweet flourish.

Leaf

Characteristically short Fukamushi leaves, with a good proportion of fine needles; lush and silky, with a rich, vibrant green colour

Cup

Bright Fukamushi yellow-green

Sencha

Sencha is by far the most commonly cultivated and consumed green tea in Japan and constitutes the backbone of Japanese tea traditions. The leaves are typically steamed for 10-60 seconds, dried with hot air, churned, and via a multi-staged process rolled into flat needles. The flavour profile of sencha is very diverse and varies between sweet, fresh and grassy to robustly bitter. The region of cultivation as well as quality of the tea play a significant role in determining flavour.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements. Likewise, all the regions of Japan from which we source our teas are tested for radioactivity for every harvest.

Cultivation & Processing

Special features in location, cultivation & processing

The renowned tea-growing region of Chiran lies in Kagoshima, the southernmost part of Japan. Situated on flat land near the sea, it enjoys exceptionally high levels of sunshine throughout the year. The tea fields here have been certified organic since 1998, and the farmer uses a homemade, fully natural fertiliser, matured and fermented over three years. This blend includes bamboo powder and mineral-rich rock, among other organic materials. The volcanic soil is particularly fertile, further enriched by frequent ash fall from the active volcano, Sakurajima. To protect the delicate leaves from the intense sun, the tea plants are shaded for around seven days before harvest. After picking, the leaves are carefully washed to remove any volcanic ash. The farmer takes special pride in the quality of his traditional rolling and drying machines, which feature bamboo components instead of plastic.

Single Origin

This tea is exclusively sourced from the above mentioned tea farm in Chiran. Sourced directly from the tea farmer.

Preparation

Brewing Guide

2 heaped tsp per 100-300ml (60°C) water. Steep for 2 minutes. Suitable for several infusions.

Packaging

High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with nine protective layers to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.

Recommended Teapot

For Fukamushi Sencha, we recommend using a Fukamushi Tokoname Kyusu with a specially designed filter. Deep steaming produces much finer, smaller tea leaves, which can easily clog a conventional filter and prevent the tea from pouring properly. The special filter design allows the infusion to flow freely when pouring, ensuring a smooth and even brew.

Recommended Storage

Ideally store in a quality tea caddy made from cherry tree bark (wooden, Kabazaiku Chazutsu) or an airtight, double-coated metal tin.

Test results

Test results
We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
