For over fourteen generations, Shohokuen has been entrusted with the time-honored task of cultivating Japanese tea from the fields of Uji City, Kyoto, the birthplace of the tea tradition in Japan. While remaining true to traditional practices, it is our aim to meet the evolving demands of a product that is a veritable cornerstone of Japanese culture. Within a changing society, our goals have remained the same for over three-hundred years: To create tea of the highest caliber, to culturally enhance the lives of our customers, and to foster a new tea culture in tandem with the changing times.
