1.) Uji in Kyoto, where green tea culture traces back to the 12th century and matcha itself was born

2.) Yame in Fukuoka, a fog-covered highland celebrated for its rich umami and quality-first harvest philosophy

3.) Chiran in Kagoshima, where volcanic soils and the deep-steaming tradition of fukamushi-cha yield a remarkably mellow, full-bodied flavour and 

4.) Shizuoka, home to over 40% of Japan's tea production and a tea gifted to the Imperial Family to this day.

From ceremonial matcha to shaded kabuse-cha and delicate first-flush sencha — each selection is fully traceable, direct from the producer.

Rarely available outside Japan, these are teas for those who seek something beyond the ordinary.
