Uji matcha, from a house founded in 1704.
Kyoto is where ISSA MATCHA! began, with farmers in Wazuka and Minamiyamashiro. The catalog now carries the Marukyu Koyamaen range from Uji, bought in Japan and shipped from Osaka at our published price per kilo; Wazuka single-farm lots remain available on request.

MK-18Why Uji · Kyoto
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.
Districts
Wazuka, Minamiyamashiro, Uji-tawara
Availability
By request, typically 5–30 kg lots
Milling
Micromill; particle size on each lot's spec sheet
Certificates
Residue report per lot
Questions buyers ask about Uji · Kyoto
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.
