◆About Benifuki

Cultivated by the National Agriculture and Food Research Organization Institute of Vegetable and Tea Science, Benifuki was officially registered with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in 1993.
Benifuki is known as a phantom tea since small amounts are cultivated in particular regions such as Shizuoka, Kyushu and Okinawa. Researched by research institutions of public-private-academic sectors, methylated catechin contained in Benifuki has started receiving attention.
Benifuki is originally for black tea, but it was found that if Benifuki is processed into green tea, it becomes richer in methylated catechin compared with other tea.



◆About methylated catechin
Methylated catechin is Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, a type of catechin, a bitter component contained in green tea.
Benifuki was originally developed for black tea, but methylated catechin is generated when it is processed into green tea.
BENIFUKI RYOKUOU is prepared in easy-to-drink tablet form.
