5. Tradition and History

Maiko Tea is located in Kyoto Prefecture, where Japanese tea cultivation began around 1200 CE (Kamakura Period). It is the region where high-grade "Uji tea" leaves are harvested. In all periods of Japanese history, tea cultivated and processed in Kyoto was esteemed as the most delicious of all teas, and commonly presented as gifts to Shoguns during the Edo period. Maiko Tea’s award-winning selection of green teas is among the finest this region has to offer.
