Keiko Benifuuki-Powder, organic

Keiko Benifuuki powder (organic) - the whole tea leaf in its most active form

Are you not only interested in good taste, but also in the special effect behind the tea? Then Keiko Benifuuki powder is an exciting discovery. The "Benifuuki" variety is a comparatively young cultivar from Japan - bred with the aim of making the best of the tea plant available to humans. What makes it so special is its remarkably high content of EGCG and the rare catechin EGCG3. The latter is the focus of Japanese research - among other things with regard to its potentially regulating effect on allergies such as hay fever or neurodermatitis. Studies by renowned scientist Mari Maeda-Yamamoto are investigating these bioactive plant substances and are constantly bringing new findings to light. But what does this mean for you? With Benifuuki, you are not only absorbing all the vital substances of the leaf as a whole - you are choosing a tea that can act at a molecular level. This is made possible by the particularly gentle processing at Keiko Biofarm, where steaming and grinding are precisely tailored to the sensitive catechins.

Strong, tart, lively - taste with character

Benifuuki is not a tea to drink carelessly on the side. It demands a little attention - and gives you an unmistakable aroma profile in return: a hint of artichoke, a delicate bitterness, then surprising floral depth. Dosage, temperature and brewing time can modulate the taste from mild to intense. And especially as a powder, Benifuuki is pure, direct and unadulterated. The powder is a blend of early, summer and fall harvests - and thus combines their individual strengths:

• Spring: fragrant, light, rich in theanine
• Summer: Particularly rich in EGCG/caffeine, more tart in character
• Autumn: Mild, lower in caffeine - also ideal in the late afternoon

Versatile use - tea, smoothies & more

You can whisk Benifuuki in hot water in the classic way - or get more creative: In summer as an iced green tea with lime juice and ice cubes. In winter as a tangy note in a breakfast smoothie with ginger and pear. Or as a sophisticated ingredient in salad dressings and dips. Due to the intensive effect, we recommend about 1-2 portions a day - because as with many things in life: less is sometimes more.
