Discover Benifuuki - The tea full of valuable catechins
The tea known as Benifuuki embodies a remarkable history of innovation in the world of Japanese tea. This unique variety, Camellia sinensis - cultivar Benifuuki, is characterized by its exceptionally high content of catechins, in particular epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and its special variant, methylated EGCG3. These catechins have the potential to have a positive effect on allergies such as hay fever and neurodermatitis. The renowned Keiko Biofarm has developed a special steaming and processing method that protects and stabilizes these sensitive ingredients.
Scientific treasure from BenifuukiTo cement the impressive health benefits of Benifuuki, the manufacturer Keiko works closely with the Kagoshima Tea Research Institute. Under the direction of renowned scientist Mari Maeda-Yamamoto, who shares her research findings on ResearchGate, the bioregulatory effects of EGCG3, particularly with regard to allergies and obesity, are being studied in detail.
Flavors and preparation of Benifuuki
The taste of Benifuuki tea begins with a delicate bitter note reminiscent of artichokes and develops into a floral bouquet. You can prepare the tea according to your preferences - from a mild to a full-bitter intensity. The autumn harvest, known as Aki-Benifuuki, offers a reduced caffeine content so that the tea can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
Diversity of Benifuuki varieties
Keiko presents four varieties of this tea, each with its own uniqueness. These range from the freshly plucked Benifuuki No 1 with a complex aroma and high theanine content to the intense Benifuuki No 2 of the second harvest. Aki-Benifuuki offers milder notes and Benifuuki Powder promises a strong, rich tea experience thanks to its full use of the leaf substance. Ideally tempered at 80°C, the tea unfolds its full spectrum of flavors.
Enjoy Benifuuki from sustainable cultivation, certified by the organic control body DE-ÖKO-013. A tea that is both a discovery for the senses and a scientific masterpiece.
