President and founder of Kyoto Obubu Tea Farms, Akihiro "Akky" Kita, visited Wazuka, Kyoto over 15 years ago. The special tea produced in this rural district is known world-wide as Ujicha and is considered one of the highest quality, premium teas in Japan.
Back then Akky-San was a college student and in search of his life’s calling. Akihiro’s passion for green tea was born by a single cup of Ujicha drunk at its source and inspired him to learn more about this magic elixir.
