loose leaf black tea
Producing black tea (known as "kuro") is highly unusual in Japan. This example is harvested from the Benifuuki cultivar of tree on a family-run farm in Kagoshima Prefecture, which has been in the business since 1970. The estate is overseen by a young woman, an uncommon practice in the country. Brewing the dark brown leaves results in a brown-orange liquor with the aroma and taste of forest honey, cocoa bean and a subtle hint of orange note at the close.
Preparation guidelines: Use 12 g of tea (approx. 6 heaped tsp) per 1 l of freshly boiled water. Allow to infuse for 3 minutes, then strain. Suitable for 1 infusion.

The leaves grow on trees of the Benifuki cultivar. The garden is managed by a young woman of the family, which is highly unusual in Japan. Infusing the dark brown leaves creates an orange-brown liquor with the aroma and taste of wild honey and cacao bean, followed by a fine note of orange at the close.

A tea comprised of green leaves light and dark in shade, brewing it results in a yellow-orange infusion. The aroma gives a sense of a blossoming spring meadow, while the taste is one of herbs with a hint of meadow honey.
