Uji is one of Japan's best-known tea-producing regions and has a long association with Japanese tea culture.
For generations, the region has been connected with the cultivation, production and appreciation of high-quality Japanese tea.
At Matcha Origins, our connection to Japanese matcha begins with sourcing from Japan and bringing that heritage to customers in the UAE.
In this guide, we'll explore the history of Uji tea, how matcha is produced and why the region has become so closely associated with Japanese tea.
From Japanese Tea Fields to Your Cup
Matcha begins with carefully cultivated tea plants. The leaves undergo specific growing and processing techniques before being transformed into the fine powder used to prepare matcha.
The result is a tea that captures the colour, aroma and flavour of the leaves themselves.
