Camellia Sinensis (L.) Kuntze plant named Kiyoka

摘要

‘Kiyoka’ is a new variety of tea plant bred by crossbreeding FYZ-41 (‘Yabukita’ x ‘Shizuinzatsu 131’), a hybrid, as the female parent and ‘Saemidori’ as the male parent. The plant may be used, e.g., for cultivation of tea leaves and leaf buds for consumption. The steamed leaves and leaf buds of ‘Kiyoka’ have a distinctive floral aroma, and excellent taste.
