About the Cultivar
Okumidori (おくみどり)
Origin: Japan
Developed: 1974 (registered)
"Meaning 'late green', Okumidori is a cultivar that flushes later in the spring season compared to Yabukita. Registered in 1974, it's a cross between Yabukita and a native Shizuoka variety. It's valued for its strong umami, rich flavor, and vibrant green color, making it excellent for matcha and shaded teas like gyokuro. Its late budding nature can be an advantage in avoiding frost damage."
