Coming from the Miyazaki Prefecture this whole leaf tea is made from the Benifuuki cultivar. This cultivar is a result of crossing the Benihomare variety of \u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/i\u003e ‘Assamica’ (The first registered Japanese tea variety) with \u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/i\u003e ‘Makura Cd86’, which originally came from the Darjeeling region of India. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis hybrid was made in Kagoshima Prefecture and registered in 1993. The Benifuuki tea plant has been accredited with astonishing health-giving properties, not least of all the ability to work against allergies especially hay-fever and eczema. I used 90\u003csup\u003eo\u003c\/sup\u003e water rather than boiling water and steeped for one and a half minutes, on the first infusion and a couple of minutes on the second. Rich flavour, quite floral and mellow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #444444; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gently Stirred","offers":[{"title":"25 grams","offer_id":839339343891,"sku":"","price":7.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50 grams","offer_id":839339376659,"sku":"","price":14.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 grams","offer_id":839339409427,"sku":"","price":26.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 grams","offer_id":57061488329082,"sku":null,"price":57.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 grams","offer_id":57061488361850,"sku":null,"price":104.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"750 grams","offer_id":57061488394618,"sku":null,"price":149.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kilogram","offer_id":57061488427386,"sku":null,"price":189.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 gram Sample","offer_id":57061488460154,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/7537\/products\/Japanese_Benifuuki_Organic_Black_Tea_1.JPG?v=1514979787","url":"https:\/\/gentlystirred.co.uk\/products\/japanese-benifuuki-organic-black-loose-leaf-tea-worldwide-mail-order","provider":"Gently Stirred","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
