About the cultivar
Uji HikariKyoto, Japan
Meaning 'Light of Uji', Uji Hikari was selected from a native 'Zairai' tea field in Uji, Kyoto, in 1954 by the Kyoto Tea Research Institute. Despite its age, it remains an unregistered cultivar but is highly prized, especially for high-grade matcha and gyokuro. Its leaves have a distinctive wavy pattern, making them visually unique in the tea fields. It's known for a captivating sweet aroma called 'Ooika' or 'Aroma of Shadows' when shaded. Due to its distinct and powerful character, it's often sought after for single-cultivar offerings to showcase its unique profile.
