Japanese Benifuki Tea

When you think “Japanese tea”, we bet your mind goes straight to green tea or matcha. But did you know that they make black tea too!? Referred to locally as wakocha, black teas from Japan are known for being sweeter and fruitier than other varieties—and they aren’t typically exported outside of the country, which makes our Organic Japanese Benifuki an extra rare treat! A longtime favourite among fieldworkers in the weeks leading up to and during peak pollen season, this bold and lively tea from Satsuma Town in Kagoshima Prefecture has honeyed notes of malt and candied citrus peel. Take a sip and experience it for yourself! 

Full-bodied, complex & deeply malty throughout, this black tea has undertones of orange blossoms and bright, coppery notes of honey, raisins and candied citrus peel. Subtle hints of spice and baking bread round it off—almost like a fresh hot cross bun.

Organic black tea from Japan.
