koyama tea farm & garden

Yoshinori Koyama is the 4th generation tea farmer in the family owned Koyama Tea Garden, however tea farming traces back 550 years in the Koyama family name.
With a focus on completely organic and sustainable farming, Yoshi only produces single cultivar teas in Okuyamada, Uji, allowing the tea leaf, terroir and climate to really speak in every tea.
Situated in a mountainous area at an altitude of approximately 350 meters, the environment is ideal for growing high-quality tea leaves, characterized by a large temperature difference between day and night and frequent mist. Furthermore, the mountain slopes provide excellent drainage, creating the optimal soil for tea cultivation.
