Tea Crafted and Sold at the Birthplace of Uji Tea

Ujitawara, where the tea fields of "Asadaen Main Store" are located, is a primary production area of Uji tea, known for its expansive, scenic tea plantations. In the Kamakura period, the first tea plants were cultivated in the inner reaches of Obukudani, a valley within the sacred Mt. Jufuku. The high-quality tea leaves grown in the favorable conditions of Obukudani were said to have been presented to the shogunate and the imperial court.
