Benifuuki No. 1 - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Brewing Instructions
Amount 1 TL (gestr.-geh.)
Temperature 70-80°
Infusions 4
Infusion time 60-150 sek
Unlike regular Green Tea this Japanese green tea specialty from the 1st picking in May is slightly fermented. It comes from the tea variety "Benifuuki" and has a very high content of the antioxidative or antiallergic catechines EGCg and 3MeEGCg (EGCg3).
The scent and flavor of this years harvest, when all conditions are just right during the time of the Benifuuki Spring picking surprised even us.
We are delighted by this new harvest: As soon as you open the package a wonderful smell streams out, characteristic for Benifuuki and a little like that of very fine Oolong tea. The leaf structure is good and of a luscious green. In the cup the tea develops a soft green color with golden reflexions and caresses the tongue with playfully fruity and light with a subtle tartness and the elegant notes of jasmine in the scent.
Storage
In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.
The production and also the fragrance are similar to that of Oolong tea. However, the freshly harvested leaves are not simply heated, but steamed briefly at especially high temperatures. Furthermore, the partial fermentation does not take place in a warm environment as with Oolong, but in the dark at a low temperature. Only the further drying and pressing process corresponds to that of Oolong tea. Thanks to this special processing this unusual tea stays green like a real Japanese tea!

Vielen Dank für die Wiedergutmachung
Die jetzige Charge in der 50 g als auch der 200 g Packung ist wieder von hervorragender Qualität.
Nussig, Umami .... Ich habe natürlich meinen Jahresbedarf damit gedeckt. Ein bisschen Egoismus hilft den Rest des 200 g Beutels von der vorhergehenden Charge aufzubrauchen.
Sehr gut
Hatte mir den Tee aufgrund der Vorbewertung mit nur einem halben Stern gekauft. In dieser schlechten Bewertung stand zu meiner grossen Überraschung, dass die Dame sich jeden Morgen auf ihre Tasse Tee gefreut hatte und dass ihr nur die neuste Charge nicht schmeckte. Meine zugesandten 50 g waren ebenso hervorragend und ich möchte gerne nachbestellen. Ist die Großpackung wirklich schlechter?
Liebe Monokelkobra,
schön, dass du dem Tee trotz oder gar wegen der Bewertung eine Chance gegeben hast! Aktuell stammen die 50g und 200g aus der gleichen Charge, die Großpackung sollte also der Qualität der 50g Packung entsprechen.
Da Benifuuki als sortenreiner Tee und in recht kleinen Chargen hergestellt wird, können die natürlich bedingten Schwankungen im Aroma bei diesem Tee allerdings etwas größer ausfallen als bei anderen KEIKO Tees üblich.
Liebe Grüße vom KEIKO TEAm
Leider hat die Qualität sehr nachgelassen und der Kundendienst hat nicht geantwortet
Seit mehreren Jahren freue ich mich jeden morgen auf meine Tasse Benifuuki No 1. Daher war meine Enttäuschung umso größer als ich die neue Großpackung anbrach und feststellte, dass der Tee völlig geschmacklos ist. Der feine Geschmack des Tees, den ich bislang in den 50g-Packungen gekauft habe, ist nicht vorhanden. Eine diesbezüglich an KEIKO gerichtete Mail ist unbeantwortet geblieben.
