Benifuuki No. 2 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Dosage 1 TL (gestr.-geh.)

Temperature 80-90°

Infusions 3

Brewing time 60-150 sek

This Japanese green tea from the 2nd picking is very tenderly fermented. It is made from the tea variety "Benifuuki". This is characterized by a particularly high content of the special active ingredient epigallocatechin gallate 3 (EGCG 3), which reaches its peak similar to the caffeine content at the 2nd picking. The yellowish-green, clear cup has a slightly tart aroma with a floral note, which is particularly emphasized when the infusion time is shorter. The production and also the scent is similar to that of the Oolong tea. However, the freshly harvested leaves are not simply heated, but steamed for a short time while overheated. 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.

Storage

In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we ask you to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.

Green tea preparation instructions

Prepare

Prepare a cup for each person that has a capacity of 80 to 100 ml. Allow the boiled water to cool to 80° to 60°C, depending on the type. To do this, either put the water in a cooling bowl or pour it directly into the cups to cool, which will also preheat them.

Dose

Put a level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay pot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Allow the first infusion to brew for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour

If the tea is to be served to several people, first pour a little tea into each cup and then fill the cups in reverse order. This way, the tea will be the same strength in all cups. The pouring movements gradually give the tea the right green color. Pour out the last "golden" drops and prevent the tea from brewing any further.

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet treat is often served with unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Only allow to steep for about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already swollen and the ingredients are released more quickly. Distribute quickly all around.

Benifuuki Powder - Organic Japanese Tea Powder

The tea cultivar Benifuuki is characterised by a particularly high content of catechins (EGCG and EGCG3) which are readily available to the body and for this reason it is often drunk in Japan for allergies such as hay fever. PreparationBenifuuki Powder can be whisked up with water using a Chasen, just like Matcha.The catechins give this golden green powder a strong and astringent aroma, which makes it very economical in use. Already half the usual (Matcha-)dosage results in a finely fragrant tea. Aficionados like to drink it pure. For those who find the taste too tart, we recommend a mild dosage, a combination with mild mulberry leaf powder or the use as a supplement in drinks and food. Prepared with a little water and lemon and/or apple juice, it is, for example, a wonderfully refreshing drink. Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the powder in the best possible way, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it in a cool and dark place, ideally in your refridgerator or freezer.

Aki Benifuuki - Organic Japanese Green Tea

This Japanese green tea from the autumn picking is very tenderly fermented. It is made from the tea variety "Benifuuki". It is characterised by a high content of the special active ingredient epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG 3). The caffeine content of the autumn picking is comparatively low so that the tea is also suitable for the afternoon. The yellowish, clear cup has a milder aroma than the first two pickings with a gentle citrus note. The bitter constituents contained in the cup only become clearly apparent in taste when prepared strongly and infused for a long time. 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.

Benifuuki No. 1 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

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!
