Benihikari

A black tea cultivar developed at the Makurazaki national research centre in Kagoshima by crossing Benikaori and Makura Cn1. It was registered in 1969. This is a hardy, productive variety that makes high quality black tea. It was extremely promising, but did not become widely grown because of the liberalization of the international trade in black tea in Japan in 1971, which led to a drop in production. It has a special, fresh, camphor fragrance. Time of harvest: very late.
