Japanese Green Tea Hibiki-an

Atsushi Yasui
36 Shimonoto Yuyadani Ujitawara, Kyoto
610-0221
Japan

This is quite a unique opportunity to try the deep mellow taste, fresh aroma of young tea sprouts, and noble flavor found only at Japan's National Tea Competition.

The birthplace of Uji Tea; the first place where tea trees were planted in the Uji region of Japan.

The misty climate, sloping hills, warm days and cool nights provide an ideal setting to grow the highest grade tea.

Indeed, Sencha produced in this area was presented to the Japanese Emperors for many years.

Tea tree for hand-picked tea just before harvest

Fresh tea leaves just after being harvested by hand

The birthplace of Sohen Nagatani, who invented the modern Japanese tea processing method

Hibiki-an ships worldwide directly from Uji in Kyoto, Japan.

Our tea farms are located in the birthplace of Japanese tea

Owner's Comment

About 1200 years ago in Japan, green tea was highly valued and treasured as precious medicine. With the advent of new harvesting and processing techniques, it soon became the country's most popular beverage. Today, Japanese green tea's health benefits are widely known not only in Japan, but around the world.

Tea leaves and Matcha grown in Uji, Kyoto have played an important role in building traditional Japanese tea culture. Japanese tea culture sustained by Uji tea made an enormous impact on Japanese architectural style, habits, costume and cuisine, porcelain, lacquer, painting, and literature.

We, at Japanese Green Tea Hibiki-an, provide you with genuine Japanese green tea in convenient styles and prices for your every need.
