This Japanese green tea from the 1st picking in May is delicately fermented. It comes from the tea variety "Benifuuki" and has a very high content of the special active ingredient epigallocatechin gallate 3 (EGCG 3). The light green, clear and exceedingly flowery cup has an unmistakable exquisite bitter note.
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!Ingredients

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.
