"Developed in 1908 by Hikosaburō Sugiyama in Shizuoka Prefecture, Yabukita is the most widely cultivated tea cultivar in Japan, accounting for a vast majority of tea production. Its name comes from 'yabu' (bamboo grove) and 'kita' (north), as Sugiyama originally planted it north of a bamboo clearing.
