Description Like Keiko Benifuuki Number 2 loose leaf tea, Keiko Benifuuki Powder is an organic Japanese green tea with unique health benefits. Made from the rare Benifuuki variety of the tea plant, the tea leaves are grown in Japan, carefully packed for transport and freshly ground in Germany to preserve its delicate aroma and potency. What sets Benifuuki tea apart from other green teas is its particularly high levels of catechins and caffeine. Although research is still ongoing, customer feedback suggests that regular consumption of Keiko Benifuuki green tea may help alleviate symptoms of hay fever and skin irritations, as well as supporting the immune system. Keiko Benifuuki Powder is certified organic, grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. It is carefully stone-ground in small batches in Germany, ensuring you get a tea that is always fresh, vibrant and full of flavour. Keiko Benifuuki powder has a bold, slightly sour and vegetal taste, with a pleasantly bitter note that is balanced by its natural umami character. It is less sweet than ceremonial matcha, making it a favourite for those who prefer a more robust green tea flavour, and is ideal for drinking as a latte. Keiko Benifuuki powder is easy to make: Simply whisk 0.5-2 grams of Benifuuki powder with hot water (around 80-90°C) until foamy. Many matcha lovers prefer to drink it straight. For those who want the health benefits but find the taste too bitter, we recommend a milder dose or using it as an ingredient in drinks and foods. For example, a little water and lemon mixed with apple juice makes a wonderfully refreshing drink. Or use the stronger dose to add to smoothies, juices or even yoghurt for an easy health boost.
