{"product_id":"japan-benifuuki-wakoucha-black-tea","title":"Japan Benifuuki Wakoucha Black Tea","description":"Only the finest young Benifuuki leaves are hand-harvested and carefully stored, then oxidised for three months in darkness at low temperature. This meticulous craft creates a tea rich in methylated catechins, traditionally valued for supporting natural defences against seasonal allergies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cup reveals a captivating complexity: smooth honey and floral notes mingle with cool, mentholated minerality—echoes of Japanese green tea heritage. Beneath these lie whispers of apple, quince, raisin, muscatel and vanilla, building to a finish of ripe plum sweetness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenifuuki itself tells a story of botanical precision. Bred from Benihomare and the pollen parent MAK Cd86, this cultivar was perfected in Kagoshima prefecture in 1965 and officially named in 1993. The leaves emerge deeply worked and rough, gleaming black, then brew to a reddish-golden liquor with the fragrant, Darjeeling-like aroma its heritage promises. Strong-bodied and utterly distinctive, this is a tea for those who appreciate genuine craftsmanship and depth.","brand":"Dethlefsen \u0026 Balk","offers":[{"title":"100g","offer_id":59160871371100,"sku":"175-Teas-Size-100g","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200g","offer_id":59160871403868,"sku":"175-Teas-Size-200g","price":41.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":59160871436636,"sku":"175-Teas-Size-500g","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":59160871469404,"sku":"175-Teas-Size-1kg","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0277\/7692\/files\/Japan_Benifuuki_Wakoucha_Black_Tea.jpg?v=1790090358","url":"https:\/\/imperialteas.co.uk\/products\/japan-benifuuki-wakoucha-black-tea","provider":"Imperial Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
