From Tea Mountain

About ten years ago, several Japanese farmers met with a Taiwanese black tea master and underwent his sophisticated training. Since then, these four farmers have been competing to see who can produce the best tea and have taken turns at the top of the competition. This year’s version of this Benifuuki is, in addition to its full, intense and noble taste, also very interesting in terms of aroma, where there are traditionally a little more spicy tones and fruit than last year, and we are predicting it to be the favorite of the season not only with you, but also at Japanese tea competitions, where it has already earned the highest awards several times. It will most likely receive the highest rating of five stars this year as well.

Harvest time: Ichibancha (spring) 2024

Area: Yabemura, Yame District, Fukuoka Prefecture

Cultivar: Benifuuki

Quite a subtle black tea that is not as robust as most examples of the category on the market. Its aromas are very floral with rose being the primary association for me. The taste is bitter and has a woody astringency as well as coffee-like sourness. There are notes of sap, peanuts, earth at first. Later, more of a “Japanese” character comes forward. The taste has more umami and hints of shellfish and wheat, as well as molasses and allspice in the aftertaste.
