Thank you, plenty to read there! 
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
