BENIFUKI BLACK 1st FLUSH 2022 | べにふうき紅茶 2022

Benifuki is the most popular cultivar for Japanese black tea. Sunset orange coloured liquor has a round medium body, with notes of white peach and soy sauce followed by a lingering lily aftertaste. The second infusion brings more prominent floral notes with a slight hint of Kyoho grape skin astringency. This is a first flush tea grown without synthetic fertiliser or pesticides on an award-winning tea farm in Yame, Fukuoka.
