Matcha Green Tea Yabukita Premium Organic Japanese 30g

A single cultivar ceremonial grade Yabukita matcha from Uji, Japan. In Japan, Yabukita is the most famous and commonly used cultivar, comprising 85% of the whole tea production. There are many reasons for using it on a large scale, mainly because of high yielding, frost resistance, and the ability to survive in any location. Yabukita is easy to spot due to its long and straight leaves and the intense green color. Yabukita is derived from two Japanese words, Yabu, meaning bamboo grove, and Kita, means north. It was first cultivated in 1908 by a tea breeder named Sugiyama Hikosaburo. He took two tea samples from the fields of Shizuoka city and planted in a testing field. The field was close to a bamboo grove, and samples came from the north, and therefore he named the new breed Yabukita. He experimented with different styles to determine which survives longer and gives better-desired characteristics. After years of struggle, he finally managed to develop the Yabukita cultivar.
