The crop yield is low compared to Yabukita, and the best timing for picking is short, making it a relatively more expensive cultivar.

As such, it is the standard by which many other tea cultivars are measured in both harvest timing as well as flavor profile. The balanced flavor of the leaves makes it popular for sencha, but it provides a weaker umami taste and its green color is duller, so is not usually used for matcha as a result.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYAMATO MIDORI\u003c\/strong\u003e - First grown in 1924 at what is now the Yamato Tea Research Center, and taken from seed-grown plant from the farm of Fukui Kanjiro, this is the only cultivar that originates from Nara. It was registered officially in 1953, and its name comes from the ancient name for the region, Yamato, which is also synonym for the country of Japan since the first emperors of Japan where based in this area. Yamato Midori (midori means \"green\") is a late flushing plant generally harvested 10 days after Yabukita making it more resistant to the colder air of early spring.
