Kizugawa Tea

Fragrant tea leaves grow in this corner of the birthplace of Uji tea. Kizugawa tea is a premium tea rooted in the Yamashiro region, the origin of Japanese tea. The Yamashiro region in southern Kyoto Prefecture, including Kizugawa City, is the 'birthplace of Japanese tea,' having supported Japan's tea culture by producing matcha, sencha, and gyokuro. The fertile soil and mild climate of the Kizugawa river basin nurture highly aromatic tea leaves. The Kamikoma area within the city once flourished as a collection center for tea, and the land continues to walk alongside tea, with the 'Tea Wholesaler Street' still featuring rows of traditional tea wholesalers. As a key part of the famous Uji tea production region, Kizugawa tea carries the breath of long tea history in every clear aroma that unfolds with each steep.
