About Ureshino tea

HISTORY

Image: Ureshino tea

Ureshino, located near Mt. Sefuri in Saga, the birthplace of Japanese tea cultivation, is one of the leading tea producing areas in the country.
Ureshino tea has a long history, and was created by potters who immigrated from China (Ming Dynasty) around 1440 in the mid-15th century.
It is said that the roots of the current Ureshino tea originate from the beginning of tea cultivation for personal use.

Surrounded by mountains, Ureshino is an ideal place for growing tea.
In spring, when there is a large difference in temperature between day and night, the tea leaves are covered in morning mist and dew forms, allowing delicious new buds to grow.
Ureshino tea is known for its unique, round, magatama-like shape.
It is nicknamed "Guricha".
