We are tea farmers in the Gokasho area of Uji city, said to be the birthplace of Ujicha. The present owner, Yoshitsugu Furukawa, is the sixth generation. Our ancestors began making tea during the Edo period. And now, in the land inherited from them, right next to the Uji River, we continue to grow tea trees using traditional Uji methods of Under cover cultivation and Natural style.
All of our Matcha is made exclusively from fresh spring tea leaves, that are hand-harvested once a year. The harvested tea leaves are then steamed, dried, shaped and gently ground with a stone mill.
Our Matcha is delivered to you directly from our tea garden.
