Breeding of green tea cultivars at Saitama prefecture was begun around 1933. Saitama prefecture is situated in the northern tea producing area of Japan, where the climate is cold in winter, and accordingly breeding for cold resistance is important. As a result, up to the present 8 cultivars have been developed. The period of breeding peer variety is about 20 years at Saitama prefecture, plus 7 years at 7 other experiment stations south and north of Saitama, and their suitability is examined. Shortening of breeding period and basic research on breeding etc. are the themes of research at present.
