Special Blend by Sunday Natural

This special, unique blend unites the exquisite characteristics of benifuuki, the strongest of all green teas, with 9 other traditional winter herbs from various regions of the world. Only the most effective herb variants are selected to ensure that the blend has optimal impact. The 10 ingredients combined cover a wide range of well-known herbal remedies, to formulate a uniquely synergistic blend.

When personally selecting the tea and herbs for this blend, our tea experts prioritised the selection of the highest quality ingredients from top growing regions. All the ingredients are directly sourced from specialised farmers who are experts in the cultivation of their tea and herbs. We invested significant time and effort into the curation of a perfect winter blend that is both potent and balanced.

The tea is heartening and energising, but contains only a very small amount of caffeine. Because the caffeine is embedded in amino acids, the tea provides a pleasant and lasting invigorating feeling. An ideal winter tea for getting through the day.

Character

Strong, warming, activating, revitalising, subtly tart

Benifuuki is a special, relatively recent cross of the varieties Assamica and Sinensis, or of “Benihomare” and “Makura Cd86". It was created in Makurazaki City, Kagoshima in 1965, but the seedling was only registered in 1993. It was found to possess very rare catechins with special properties as well as an above-average amount of the important catechins C, EC and EGC (about 0.8%, 2.0% and 3.8% in dry matter) and the highest amounts of ECG (7.6%) and the main catechin EGCG found in any tea (10.1% or up to 17% when the upper leaves of the first harvest are used).

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

Cultivation & Processing

Our benifuuki green tea is directly sourced from an organically certified tea farm on the island of Tokunoshima in the Kagoshima prefecture of southern Japan. This region receives the greatest amount of sun in all of Japan, which helps the formation of catechins. We source our benifuuki from the first harvest (ichibancha), which has the highest concentration of catechins as well as a balanced flavour for this otherwise bitter, substance-rich tea.

The Cistus incanus variant of rock rose used in this tea originates from Chalkidiki, and is grown on Mt. Othrys in Greece. This region is well-known for its herbs. As a result of natural cultivation, our rock rose has a particularly high concentration of the polyphenol complex that rock rose is renowned for.

We also source our Greek mountain tea from Mt. Othrys. The variant we use, Sideritis scardica Type 2, has a very high content of anthocyanins.

All other herbs used in this blend are sourced from specialised farms with ideal growing conditions for herbs.
