'''Sayamacha''' is a type of [[green tea]] respectively cultivar grown mainly in the southwestern region of Saitama Prefecture. Compared to other cultivars like [[Yabukita]] or [[Sainomidori]], Sayamacha is characterized by its thick leaves. This is because the region around Saitama Prefecture is considered to be fairly north and has a cool climate. The frost in winter makes ordinary cultivars without thick leaves unable to survive. | '''Sayamacha''' is a type of [[green tea]] respectively cultivar grown mainly in the southwestern region of Saitama Prefecture.
