Sencha Fukujyu is one of Japan's most popular teas. It has a mild flavour and is rich in vitamin C. All the other natural compounds present also remain in this extremely healthy tea. In Japan the tea buds begin growing in April and this tea is picked early, whilst other teas are picked nearer maturity in July. Immediately after they are plucked they are steamed, rolled and then fired until they become like green needles. They make a splendid tea with a mixture of subtle sweetness and fresh green scent. Slightly cool the boiled water before making tea with Sencha.
