This black tea comes from Kikugawa in the city of Shimada in Shizuoka. The producer of this tea is known for his powerful, honeyed, very fruity Benifûki. However, in this particular case, the production of the tea was unusual; compared to other summer harvests, it is lightly oxidized. It was also made using a Taiwanese cultivar.
This moderately oxidized spring black tea was made using a cultivar that originates from Taiwan.
It delivers a very rich fragrance that evokes very sweet, soft caramel and has milky, peach nuances.
Living up to the expectations, the infusion is particularly delicate and velvety on the palate. It has almost no tannins to speak of, and there are sweet milky aromas, somewhere between soft caramel and fruity honey.
This is a very strong, delicious tea that is almost a dessert.
