The fascinating Benifuuki - superior in the richness of catechins
Welcome to the precious world of Benifuuki, a tea characterized by its extremely rich content of the valuable catechins EGCG and EGCG3. These fine substances, which are said to have a beneficial effect, especially on allergies such as hay fever and neurodermatitis, make this tea a unique jewel of tea culture. Benifuuki, with its scientific name Camellia sinensis - cultivar Benifuuki, is still a relatively recent discovery in Japan. Its creation is the result of expert cultivation aimed at fully exploiting the potential of these noticeable catechins.
A special, groundbreaking processing and steaming method has been developed at Keiko Biofarm to preserve these sensitive ingredients in the best possible way and stabilize them in the tea leaf. This process raises the quality of the tea to unprecedented heights.
Intensive research for a deeper understanding
In order to exhaustively research the far-reaching benefits of Benifuuki, producer Keiko works hand in hand with the renowned Kagoshima Tea Research Institute. The scientist Mari Maeda-Yamamoto has set herself the task of investigating the bioregulatory effects of the methylated catechins EGCG3, primarily with regard to allergies and obesity. You can find the results of her in-depth studies on ResearchGate.
An aroma of incomparable elegance
The Benifuuki first reveals a subtle bitter note, reminiscent of delicate artichokes, before developing a characteristic floral bouquet. Depending on the selected variety, dosage, water temperature and infusion time, you can enjoy a subtle mild, delicately bitter or fully bitter taste. The autumn harvest, known as Aki-Benifuuki, is characterized by a reduced caffeine content and can be enjoyed at any time of day.
Exclusive variations of the Benifuuki
Keiko offers you this remarkable tea in four tantalizing varieties, each with its own charisma:
Benifuuki No 1: A fragrant composition from the first harvest of the year, high in EGCG and EGCG3, rich in theanine, it offers a harmonious and distinct taste.
Benifuuki No 2: This second harvest is more bitter, rich in caffeine and stands out for its high concentration of EGCG and EGCG3.
Aki-Benifuuki: A balanced taste, low in caffeine, yet rich in EGCG and EGCG3, characterizes the autumn harvest.
Benifuuki powder: This blend of the three harvests, in powder form, allows the whole tea leaf with all its nutrients to come into its own. Ideal for a strong tea preparation or creative applications in the kitchen.
Discover the attractive elegance of Benifuuki and let yourself be seduced by its multifaceted variety. Whether as a soothing tea on a quiet afternoon or as part of an inspiring drink - this tea enriches your enjoyment with its unmistakable accents.
