Uji

(Kyoto, Japan )

Uji Matcha

Uji, located near Kyoto, is renowned for its centuries-old tradition of matcha (powdered green tea) production, deeply intertwined with Japanese culture and the tea ceremony. Tea cultivation in Uji began in the early 13th century during the Kamakura period, flourishing due to the region's favorable climate and topography.
The Guardian

In the 16th century, Uji farmers developed the "Ōishita Saibai" shading technique, covering tea plants to enhance chlorophyll and amino acid content, resulting in the vibrant green color and rich umami flavor characteristic of high-quality matcha.

Uji matcha gained prominence through its association with the Japanese tea ceremony, particularly under the influence of tea master Sen no Rikyū, who emphasized simplicity and natural beauty. The region's dedication to traditional cultivation and processing methods has solidified its reputation as a premier matcha producer, with Uji matcha being highly esteemed both domestically and internationally.
