About the tea cultivar species

Cultivar details - Okumidori

Breeder:
The national research institution for vegetable and tea cultivation in Shizuoka.

History:
A breed between Yabukita and “Shizuoka-zairai-16”. Registered in 1974 as #32.

Growth:
It is a late grower especially suited for the manufacturing of Gyokuro and Sencha. The bushes grow at an average height, and development is strong. Its produced leaf is smaller than the Yabukita leaf, with a small oval shape and clear green color. It produces a good yield.

Specifications:
Strong cold resistance, in similarity to its parent cultivar Yabukita. As sencha it produces a beautiful deep green color and a pretty shape. Its flavor is comparable to Yabukita. As a late grower, its harvesting period is comparatively late, around 8 days later than Yabukita. It functions especially well in a blend with the Yabukita and Kanayamidori cultivars.

  4. Ibrahim Alsamaj (verified owner)

    Balanced smooth and very fragrant

  5. RJ (verified owner)

    Very delicious matcha. The flavor is wonderfully balanced between the natural pine-ish and umami, exactly as I prefer. It foams beautifully under a whisk, which creates a very satisfying layer both for visual presentation and consumption. The drinking experience as a whole exudes the high level of care that must have been put into its creation, so it makes an excellent choice to serve to others as well.

  6. Richard Panse (verified owner)

    Wonderful aroma. I love this Matcha for its even and balanced taste. I use the word ‘Balance’ because of all of the Tea Crane Matchas that I have tasted this Solitary Pine Matcha is the refreshing median point. I will definitely be ordering this again.
