They're green because they haven't oxidized. In otherwords, they are very fresh and have not been exposed to oxygen. There are some very excellent green teas which lean to the more yellow side, but that's not because they are old. Old green tea, however, turns yellowish after time.

I am super picky about what I sell and I sample many before picking the one that I will add to the lineup. Every now and then, I stumble across something really good and then I track it down. That's how I came across Yutaka Midori.
