Kyoto

Kyoto, especially the city of Uji, is considered the cultural centre of Japan, symbolically represented by the numerous temples and shrines in the time-honoured city. Japanese tea culture itself also has its roots here, and with it some of the most important processing methods. For example, the special steaming, rolling and drying of green gyokuro were also tested here. Teas from Kyoto and especially from Uji are among the most precious that the world of Japanese tea has to offer.
