Hi,

Can anyone point me towards a good online resource for learning about the different cultivars used in Japanese green tea production?

Thank you in advance :)

Thes du Japon’s current offerings, categorized by cultivar, is useful and his blog is always replete with cultivar information.

In addition to cultivars, you might explore common processing methods and some unique ones as well Japanese Green Tea: Aged, Roasted, Fermented

Thes du japon has updated their post about Japanese cultivars. It now contains a very comprehensive list:
