Sencha Fukujyu

£12.00 GBP

Steamed then dried leaves make a delicate tea with a distinctive flavour. The green leaf, which goes into this tea, only comes from the first and second flush. Additionally, the plucking cycle for this tea during the 1st and 2nd flush is every 4 days producing a tea that is mainly comprised of young tender shoots. Once plucked the tea is steamed to stop any possibility of fermentation. After the steaming process the tea is rolled and pan-fired. Sencha tea generally yields clear, pale-green cups that carry many of the same vegetative grassy notes common to all Japanese teas. 

A later harvest (which is the basic grade of Sencha), is enhanced by covering the leaves with blankets as they grow in order to slow the growth and, therefore, pull up more nutrients from the soil. 

Brew with freshly drawn boiled water that has cooled for 2 minutes, for 3-5 minutes.

How will my coffee be packaged?

We use heat sealed bags with a one-way valve (to let gases escape but none in) and this will keep your coffee fresh for up to four months unopened (if you really want to keep it that long!)  We use box-bottomed resealable valve bags as our default but if you want the tall non-resealable valve bags then please ask in the notes for order section.  We then pack your bags of coffee into bespoke cardboard boxes.  These will prevent your coffee from being damaged in transit and are 100% recyclable.  

Where does The Bean Shop deliver to?

We currently deliver all over the UK and Europe.  It can get a bit tricky further afield than that as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track on the parcel's whereabouts. To be honest there is probably a coffee roaster a bit closer if you're outside Europe anyway!

How much does postage cost?

No-one really likes paying for postage but in order to avoid increasing our prices we have opted to charge a flat-rate of £3.00 for all our UK orders.  This is expensive if you only buy one bag of coffee but becomes very reasonable if you order more bags.  We use Royal Mail 1st class for orders up to 3 bags.  For orders 4 bags and over we use DPD 48 hour delivery as a default (this option will require a signature upon delivery.)  

In geographically isolated areas of the UK, DPD can take longer than 48 hours so we have added the option of paying for Royal Mail which could be more efficient.

How long will it take? 

We aim to deliver your order within 48 hours of receiving it (under normal circumstances) and are often much quicker!  During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) your order may take a little longer due to delays or extreme weather conditions.  

If I'm not in?

For orders of 1 bag of coffee our boxes are post-box friendly so should be delivered whether or not you're in.  For larger parcels, usually the delivery person will leave a card saying it has been returned to the post depot where you can collect it from.  Many customers find it easier to have their coffee delivered to their place of work so that there is always someone there to accept it.

Really decent quality sencha. This

"Really decent quality sencha. This is my go to breakfast tea. Lovely grassy and marine notes with plenty of umami. Must brew at 70-80 degrees to avoid bitterness but you can brew the leaves again if you separate from liquor. Great with porridge!"

Good service

"Always buy our tea and coffee from the Bean Shop. They are very knowledgeable and helpful when choosing which to buy. I purchased on line due to Covid and despite a longer wait time due to Royal Mail being overwhelmed with parcels the mine arrived in good time for Christmas. Thank you and Happy Christmas to all at the Bean Shop."
