About Uji

At KINO-MORI, everything begins in Uji, Kyoto - the birthplace of Japan’s finest ceremonial matcha.

Our tea is shade-grown for weeks, hand-picked, and stone-milled to preserve its vibrant green color, smooth crema, and deep umami.

Why Uji? The misty rivers, fertile soil, and centuries of craftsmanship create matcha that is unmatched in purity and taste.

When you choose KINO-MORI, you’re drinking a tradition treasured by tea masters for over 800 years.
