Gion Tsujiric

In 1860, Gion Tsujiri was established in Uji as a tea factory. The name "Tsujiri" was derived from the founder's name, Tsuji Riemon. After the business was reopened in Gion, it was renamed "Gion Tsujiri." Gion has long been beloved by the people as a spiritual approach to Yasaka Shrine, a birthplace of traditional culture, a tea house, and Geisha quarters. Their Uji matcha is made from tea leaves harvested in the Kyoto region. Gion Tsujiri is one of Japan’s most exclusive tea brands.

The entire tea field has been covered to prevent sunlight from growing shoots. After that, the shoots are cooked and dried without being kneaded. Tencha, the original ingredient in Matcha, is this sort of tea. Matcha is a powdery texture created by grinding tencha. Matcha is distinguished by its smell, delicate taste, and sweetness. Matcha is presented in two forms: Usucha (whisked with hot water for a lighter flavor) and Koicha (whisked with less hot water for a heavier taste).
