This achieves an intensive broadband coverage of the best-known ingredients and a unique synergistic combination.

Our tea experts have personally selected only the highest quality teas from the very best sources. All teas come directly from specialised farms that are leaders in their fields. The recipe was created in a very elaborate process to achieve the perfect balance, potency and harmony.

Cistus Benifuuki Blend

Benifuuki

Benifuuki is a special, relatively recent cross of the varieties Assamica and Sinensis, or of “Benihomare” and “Makura Cd86". It was created in Makurazaki City, Kagoshima in 1965, but the seedling was only registered in 1993. It was found to possess very rare catechins with special properties as well as an above-average amount of the important catechins C, EC and EGC (about 0.8%, 2.0% and 3.8% in dry matter) and the highest amounts of ECG (7.6%) and the main catechin EGCG found in any tea (10.1% or up to 17% when the upper leaves of the first harvest are used).

Cultivation & Processing

Location, Cultivation, Processing

Our benifuuki green tea is directly sourced from an organically certified tea farm on the island of Tokunoshima in the Kagoshima prefecture of southern Japan. This region receives the greatest amount of sun in all of Japan, which helps the formation of catechins. We source our benifuuki from the first harvest (ichibancha), which has the highest concentration of catechins as well as a balanced flavour for this otherwise bitter, substance-rich tea.

Our cistus comes from Greece and is grown in the famous herb cultivation area on Mt Othrys. The near-natural organic cultivation gives it an especially high concentration of the special polyphenol complex for which Cistus is known for.

We also source our Greek mountain tea from Mt. Othrys. The variant we use, Sideritis scardica Type 2, has a very high content of anthocyanins.

All other herbs come from the best natural growing conditions for each herb, from specialised organic farms.
