Value of "Uji" Matcha

To ensure the authenticity of Uji matcha, strict regulations are in place to protect its quality and origin.

Uji, Kyoto is the home of matcha cultivation since 16th century.  

A comprehensive perspective of history, culture, geography, and weather makes Uji tea cultivation well known.

According to the Kyoto Prefecture Tea Industry Association, Uji tea is also produced in the four prefectures -  Kyoto, Nara, Shiga, and Mie, harvested and processed by a company in Kyoto.

However, only green tea harvested and produced in Uji can be branded "Kyoto Uji matcha".

Even if the tea is grown in Nara, Shiga or Mie Prefecture, plucked and processed by a Kyoto-based company, it can be only called "Uji matcha”.
