Description 2026 harvest From Miyazaki prefecture, BENIFUUKI is a single-origin, single-cultivar flavorful Japanese black tea (koucha) carefully crafted by award-winning tea producer Kai san. Grown in the natural beauty of Takachiho deep in the mountains, the tea leaves are left to rest overnight, then gently rolled and fermented to develop their distinctive character. This soothing koucha delivers a gorgeous aroma with minimal bitterness, which is a hallmark of premium Japanese black tea. Kai san explains: "This aromatic black tea boasts a vibrant muscatel flavor characteristic of black tea, with a deep, layered aroma. The tea leaves themselves carry floral and fruity notes. Rather than a full-bodied type, this is a black tea designed to be savored for its fragrance. The tea variety “Benifuuki” is cultivated specifically for black and oolong teas. This blend fully realizes the potential of its leaves. Its taste evokes the classic Darjeeling black tea from India, the birthplace of black tea." Each infusion yields a stunning whiskey-like, amber liquor that reveals layers of subtle sweetness and complexity. BENIFUUKI offers a gentle drinking experience with balanced flavor and natural aromatics that linger pleasantly. Ideal for those seeking to explore the niche world of Japanese black tea, BENIFUUKI is best enjoyed straight, without milk or sweeteners. The perfect match for an afternoon tea.
