| + | '''Benikaori''' is a pure [[Assam]] cultivar an originally developed for growing and producing [[black tea]] in Japan. After world war II the Japanese economy was weak and the tea farmers were looking into producing black tea for the US market. Nowadays, Benikaori is often used to produce [[Houjicha]]. Because this tea is roasted it's free from the typical astringency of Assam cultivars. |
