Do you know Benifuuki? Benifuuki is a type of tea tree.

There are many types of tea tree, and there are dozens of them sold in the Japanese tea market. Perhaps the most famous is "Yabukita". It is mainly drunk as green tea.


Benifuuki is a tea tree that has been bred for black tea and oolong tea, and is characterized by its good aroma. Often used for Japanese black tea.


It is said that the components contained in the tea leaves have a large effect on the taste and aroma of tea. Both this black tea and oolong tea, which bring out the gorgeous aroma of Benifuuki, received a special award in the ``Japanese Tea Awards: Fragrant Tea Category.''


Even though both Benifuuki tea leaves are used, it's really fun to drink and compare the differences in taste and aroma between black tea and oolong tea. It's like a journey to the Benifuki tea trees.

FAQ

Which type of of tea can I brew with the teapot?

It can be used for any type of tea. However, unglazed pottery is more likely to absorb the flavor of the tea leaves. By using different tea utensils for each type of tea, you can enjoy the flavor of the tea to the fullest.

For example, in the case of Japanese tea, sencha, fukamushicha, genmaicha, and gyokuro are all in the same family, but since hojicha has a strong roasted aroma, we recommend using a different tea utensil.

However, glazed pottery or porcelain tea utensils do not absorb the flavor of the tea leaves, so they are suitable for brewing various types of tea.

How do you wash a teapot?

Please wash the teapot with water, without using detergent. Ceramic teapots easily absorb detergent ingredients, which can affect the flavor of the tea.

Tea leaves remaining in the teapot are the main cause of tea stains. After brewing tea, we recommend removing the tea leaves once they have cooled and rinsing them with water.

Moisture remaining in the teapot can cause mold. Turning the teapot upside down will help it dry faster.

We do not recommend washing it in the dishwasher. Please wash by hand.

Can I remove tea stains from a teapot?

Here's how to remove tea stains.

1. In a bowl or pot, mix 24g of baking soda with 1 liter of water at 30-40°C.

*Do not use aluminum or Teflon-coated pots as they will react with baking soda.

2. Leave the teapot in the water mentioned in step 1 for 30-60 minutes.

3. Wipe off the tea stains with a soft sponge or cotton swab. Do not use hard sponges or brushes.

4. Rinse the teapot with water.

5. Thoroughly dry the teapot.

*Baking soda water may irritate your hands, so wear rubber gloves.
