[About Benifuuki] "Benifuuki" was registered in 1995 as a breed for black tea and semi-fermented tea at the Vegetable Tea Research Institute in Makurazaki, Kagoshima Prefecture. Freshly picked Benifuuki tea leaves from spring to autumn are processed immediately to preserve their freshness. In this way, we carefully select the tea leaves produced in various places in Kagoshima Prefecture, store them in a freezer in a vacuum state to keep them fresh throughout the year. Then, in small quantities, we blend and roast the tea leaves to make the most of the flavor of Benifuuki.

Organic farming must be certified by a certification body authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Not only at the time of application, but also after certification, audits are conducted every year, and penalties are applied when violations occur. Only producers who have received this certification are allowed to sell products labeled as "organic farm products," "organic farming," or "organic XX" and the JAS mark. "Producers" and "processors" must also be registered and certified. In other words, it is considered to be the strictest standard for certification in Japan today.
