A city of World Heritage Sites featuring temples and shrines centuries old, Kumamoto is a showcase of traditional Japanese culture. Uji-cha, or tea from the city of Uji, just south of Kumamoto, is a cornerstone of the thousand-year history of Kumamoto and thus Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUji-cha is regarded as the origin of Japanese tea production, where the Buddhist monk Eisai started the first tea fields to provide tea to the country's nobility. The leaves are grown primarily in surrounding municipalities (Ujitawara, Wazuka, etc.) and refined by factories in Uji. Uji-cha production dates back to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), and in the 13th century tea fields were founded near the famous Byodo-in temple. As time went by the name of Uji-cha spread throughout Japan, and Sen-no-rikyu, the priest who made the tea ceremony famous, played a critical role in establishing the region's fame. Today, Uji-cha is known for high quality tea such as gyokuro and matcha, as Shizuoka and Kagoshima dominate production of tea on the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/futta1507m.jpg?v=1520826096\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item one-whole medium--one-half large--one-half\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2022-tomizawa-tea-garden-kabusecha-okuyutaka-kumamoto-guricha-green-tea","title":"#0684.K5 Tomizawa Tea Garden: 2026 Kabusecha Okuyutaka Kumamoto Guricha \"Green Tea.Lab\" かぶせ茶 おくゆたか (JAS Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet the fresh batch of Tomizawa Tea Garden Shincha, harvested in 2024 and certified organic by JAS.
