Uejima Sourokuen

Uejima Sourokuen is based in Wazuka-cho, Kyoto Prefecture and has tea fields out in the surrounding areas including Kyotanabe Village. Uji tea is one of Kyoto's most famous teas, and Wazuka-cho is a production area that produces about half of the tea leaves for this Uji tea.

A note from the farmer

"All of our products are proudly made with the utmost care and effort. Soothing to the eyes, soothing to the scent, please enjoy the taste."

Uejima Sourokuen


The farm is run by 5th generation tea master Noriyasu Uejima. In the 90+ year old tea tasting competition held in Kyoto, he is the only winner to ever achieve a perfect score. 

Cultivating and processing some of Kyoto's finest teas, the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Kyoto features his teas in its lineup.

Uejima-san carries on a master farmer tradition that dates back to the mid-19th century when his ancestor started the Uejima family as a branch family of an even older main family.

The farm also operates the Wazuka Village's Wazuka Cha Cafe. 

 

 

Uejima-san and his team kindly allowed us to visit them back in May of this year to see the tencha leaf being processed. We are looking forward to bringing more matcha from Uejima Sourokuen as soon as it's available.
