Japan Benifuki: Benifuki is an exceptional tea from Japan – only about 1% of Japanese teas are processed into black tea. “Benifuki,” or alternatively “Benifuuki,” literally means “red wealth” and refers to the cultivar, i.e., the variety of the tea plant from which this specialty originates. In terms of taste, this black tea stands out for its unique, sweet-and-sour note. With its bright orange hues, it is reminiscent of autumn leaves.

The cultivar bred in Japan has a high content of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG3 for short) and is considered a very hardy plant, which makes it ideal for organic production.

Kagoshima Prefecture is already well-known for its green tea production, and the Japan Benifuki Premium black tea also comes from there. It is the region with the second-largest tea cultivation area in Japan and is located in the south on the island of Kyushu. Thanks to the mild climate on Kyushu, many high-quality tea varieties are grown there.
