Benifuuki No. 2, organic

An organic Benifuuki from Kagoshima with a strong and bitter profile

Benifuuki No. 2 brings a direct Japanese green tea to the cup: strong, bitter, and clear in expression. The 50g package is perfect if you are looking for a tea that does not appear softened, but rather presents a prominent green contour.

Sensory-wise, it shows a distinct bitterness, subtle notes of astringency, and an impression reminiscent of artichoke. Additionally, there is an earthy mouthfeel that gives the tea more depth without making it feel heavy.

The tea comes from Kagoshima, an important tea region in southern Japan. It is harvested as Nibancha, meaning in the second harvest period in summer; this harvest time suits a more direct, stronger green tea profile.

The leaves were grown in full sun and processed as Irimushi, an ultra-high-temperature processing method. Organic certification is clearly established: DE-ÖKO-013.
