Unlike any traditional green or black tea, Koji Beauty represents a remarkable fusion of centuries-old Japanese fermentation expertise and modern tea craftsmanship. Produced in Shizuoka, this rare organic tea undergoes a unique microbial fermentation using patented black koji (kurokoji)—the same natural culture traditionally used to craft Japan's finest sake, miso, and soy sauce. The tea begins as a carefully steamed Japanese green tea before undergoing its patented microbial fermentation. This unique process gently transforms the tea into an entirely new expression of Japanese tea while preserving its remarkable purity and creating an elegant, complex flavour unlike any conventional green or black tea. The result is an elegant infusion with delicate aromas of ripe plum, subtle caramel sweetness, and a wonderfully smooth finish. Its character combines the freshness of Japanese green tea with the comforting depth of aged fermented teas, creating a cup that is both refined and surprisingly refreshing. Beyond its exceptional flavour, Koji Beauty is celebrated for its naturally occurring polyphenols that are created during fermentation. Scientific research has identified unique compounds—including Teadenol A and Teadenol B—formed exclusively through this patented process. These naturally occurring polyphenols have attracted considerable scientific interest for their potential role in supporting metabolic health and overall well-being as part of a balanced lifestyle. A tea that beautifully unites Japanese tradition, scientific innovation, and exceptional craftsmanship.
