History of cultivation

Saemidori is another type of tea grown in Japan. This variety was created in 1966 at the Shizuoka Tea Plantation by combining the genetic material of various tea varieties, including Yabukita, Shizu-Inzatsu 131, and Zaoshun. The result of crossing was a tea variety with light green leaves and a bright fruity aroma.

The word "Saemidori" consists of two Japanese words: "sae" means "clear" or "pure" and "midori" means "green". This type of tea stands out for its bright green color and pleasant aroma.

The Saemidori variety is considered one of the most popular varieties of tea in Japan. It is grown in Shizuoka province on plantations located on mountain slopes at an altitude of about 200-600 meters above sea level. Because this variety tends to increase yields at lower temperatures, it is usually harvested in the spring or fall.

Saemidori has an exquisite aroma and a sweet, mild taste. This type of tea is popular not only in Japan, but also in other countries, where it is considered elegant, light and refreshing.
