[EN] This is the most beautiful warming winter tea that destroys the allergen immediately raising it to your awareness. The warming smooth depth of flavour with out the bitterness, and a mild astringency that cleanses the palette to reveal a floral honey flavour that warms your soul. A cat favourite if you are not a strong tea drinker but value the therapeutic benefits of a superbly thought out and grown tea. see https://www.greentea.net/benifuuki-tea/ for list of health benefits which is most impressive. A tea you can drink all year for the change of season and for combatting the effects of environmental causing allergens. I can't wait to study this tea more after the first and initial observation of benefits of this benifuuki.
[EN] Incredible, sophisticated fragrance, unlike any black tea I ever had. I haven't been a big black tea drinker but this one made me want to explore - I want to find others like this!
[EN] Good tea, very mellow with little astringency and nearly no bitterness. Malty and a little fruity while still remaining light. There is a touch of the sweet potato character I associate with golden monkey, which isn't my favourite, but it stays in the background. Overall a great quality tea, though personally I find I preferred the less expensive Wakoucha Japanese Black.
4.5/5 accounting for sweet potato bias
[EN] Now this is something! I was stocking up for winter with some black teas and thought I will try something new so did go through Tealyra's offer. As a not really black tea drinker I usually go for Keemun for it's woody and slightly nutty taste so description of this tea sounded good to me. To my surprise I like it much more than I expected perhaps mainly for it's smooth mouthfeel with 0 bitterness or dryness which I tend to not like on black teas. Also making 4 infusion out of it and it was still full of flavor, rich in color and didn't have a hint of that blunt aftertaste over-infused tea tends to let you know ''hey, that's enough''. Loving the floral taste too. Highly recommending this to anyone loving delicacy in their tea and smoothness without even thinking to add milk :)

[EN] While in Japan, I never experienced a black tea, and feel I missed out. This is a wonder black tea, and I am so glad you made it available. This is a superior black tea.
[EN] Sweet, Malty, and well-balanced. Perfect start to the day
