The teas grown in the tea gardens of the Yamasho Kitamura Tea Farm are made from individual cultivars. The tea is single-origin, without blending different varieties or tea leaves produced in other tea gardens. The rare Uji native variety, estimated to be about 300 years old, is made into Gyokuro and sencha. The Goko cultivar is made into Gyokuro.
We use tea leaves from rare and precious native tea trees planted approximately 300 years ago. This product created with expert farming techniques is just like the Gyokuro people enjoyed 300 years ago.
