Review: Normal Fukamushi, Kukicha, Hojicha, Shincha reviews - My reviews of Ocha's loose leaves line-up as desertcart's listing doesn't allow separate reviews for different teas in this category. Edit: (18/12/25): Organic Shincha 80g If you are looking to try this, my best advice is to grab it during the summer straight after the fresh harvest. Shincha is fleeting. It really only retains that unique character for the first few months, even with vacuum packaging. I picked this up a bit later in the year and have just finished the packet. My hasty photo here shows the very last bit of leaves from the bottom of the bag, so excuse the broken appearance. In my first cup, it was arguably the most grassy tea I have ever drunk. It has a sharp, dominant grassy umami punch that hits you immediately. However, you need to know that once the bag is open, it quickly mellows out. The longer you let oxygen in, that intense fresh bite settled into a smoother, more standard First Flush Sencha profile with a nice, subtle natural sweetness. This is certainly not for everyone. If you are new to Shincha, be prepared for a serious grassy kick. You also need to be on top of your storage to keep that freshness alive, otherwise you're just better off buying a bigger bag of first flush sencha. 4 stars. _______________________________ Edit (03/09/25): Organic Hojicha 100g For £17, this is definitely a premium Hojicha, and you absolutely get what you pay for. It comes with all the hallmarks of quality you expect from Ocha & Co., like being certified organic and vacuum-sealed for maximum freshness. The tea itself, a mix of leaves and stems, is expertly roasted. I found there was no bitterness at all, even when I tried longer infusions at higher temperatures. The flavour is very well balanced with smoky, roasted notes and a light sweetness that carries through each sip. It's never overwhelming or intense like you might find with lower-quality roasted teas. Because the leaves are so well roasted, you can easily get multiple infusions from them. I noticed the later infusions brought out even more sweetness than the first or second. It's also worth remembering that Hojicha is naturally low in caffeine but still has the health benefits of green tea, so you can enjoy it any time of day without worry. A strong 4 out of 5 stars from me. Certainly the highest quality Hojicha I've tried. ___________________ Edit (02/08/25): Organic Kukicha 100g At £18, it's definitely pricey for what it is. For those who've never tried kukicha before, I would describe it as "sencha-lite" with more sweetness. Like the other teas in Ocha's lineup, it's vacuum-sealed for maximum freshness and quality. Brewing it at the recommended 80C for 30 seconds, in contrast to the fukamushi, the theme here is "light & clean" in both taste and visual. It has a light umami with no bitterness, clear notes of sweetness, and ends with a clean finish. You can brew it for longer to get bitterness, but it's not meant for that. It's also very low in caffeine due to being made from stems/twigs, while still being quite healthy. My only main problem is the pricing. £18 is quite a lot for this tea. It's good, but I don't think it's £18 good. 4 stars. __________ Normal fukamushi: This tea costs £20 for 100g, which places it firmly in the premium range, and it definitely shows. The package arrived vacuum-sealed to preserve maximum freshness, which is always a good sign for high-quality tea from Japan. The leaves themselves are a deep green and finely broken, exactly as fukamushi should be. The dry aroma is a nice, strong grassy roasted smell, quite pleasant that I enjoyed. I followed the brewing recommendation of 80C for about 40 seconds. If you prefer a bit more bitterness, you can steep it a little longer. The result is a hallmark of authentic fukamushi tea: rich, full-bodied, and with a deep umami flavour. You can see the quality in the cloudy appearance of the tea. For those new to this style, yes, you are meant to drink the cloudiness and the fine sediment at the bottom. It contains all the good stuff that makes fukamushi even healthier than regular sencha. The only minor issue is with cleaning your strainer. Because the leaf particles are so fine, some will get stuck in a normal mesh strainer and require a bit of extra effort to clean. There are special teapots (kyusu) for this tea, but they aren't essential. So despite the high price, it's completely justified; you're paying for quality and I can certainly gives it a 5 stars.
Review: very good for baking - amazing for baking made swiss rolls with these and you can really taste the flavour. quite expensive for amount but would buy again.
