Japanese teas grown throughout Japan except norther Tohoku and Hokkaido districts. Tea drinking came to Japan from China with the Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty in Nara-Heian era, though some claims older origins. Roots of present tea plantations trace back to 12th century priest, Eisai, who planted tea bushes brought back from China in Saga. Their offspring spread to Kyoto, Nara, Wakayama, Shizuoka, Saitama etc. From Meiji to Showa era tea and silk thread played an important role in export to help Japan modernize and build a sound economy.
There are many Japanese Green Tea species in the world of tea although "Yabukita" is by far the present major species, we can also enjoy the species which take root in areas such as "Yutakamidori" or "Fujikaori". An interesting note is that during the spring season, the tea front" gradually moves up north from Okinawa.

CHINA
The origin of every tea culture is China. As Luk Yu wrote in his "Chaijing" opening; "Tea is a useful plant from the south", the home of the tea plant is considered to be southern Yunnan Province. It was first used as edible wild plant and evolved into the present form through solid and powdered tea.
