An interesting oolong produced from one of Japan's newer tea cultivar Benifuuki. It has a smooth floral taste reminiscent of Taiwan's Baozhong. Benifuuki was produced by crossing Benihomare, an assamica variety Japanese cultivar designed for black tea with MakuraCd86, a sinensis variety cultivar from Darjeeling.
