About the cultivars
SaemidoriJapan
Meaning 'clear green', Saemidori is a relatively newer cultivar, registered in 1990. It is a crossbreed of Yabukita and Asatsuyu, inheriting desirable traits from both. It's prized for its vibrant green color, lower astringency, and rich umami flavor. It is an early-budding tea plant. It's gaining popularity for producing high-quality sencha and matcha with a beautiful hue and a sweet, mellow taste.
OkumidoriJapan
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.
