Partner farmWhy Uji · Wazuka
The name buyers ask for. The volume they can't get.
Uji is a finishing brand more than a growing region: tea from Kyoto, Nara, Shiga and Mie, blended and milled in Kyoto. Real Wazuka and Minamiyamashiro tencha is excellent and scarce. When a partner needs it for a menu, we source a named lot and tell you exactly which farm it came from.

Questions buyers ask about Uji · Wazuka
Why isn't Uji in your catalog?
Because we can't guarantee monthly volume at a stable price, and we would rather not list something we might have to substitute. Ask and we will quote a named lot.
Is 'Uji' a protected origin?
Not in the way a wine appellation is. The industry definition covers tea grown in four prefectures and finished in Kyoto. Always ask a supplier which field the leaf came from.
