Hokuzan is Hokuzan was founded in Ujitawara, a small town outside of Kyoto in an area famed for its long history of tea making. As newcomers to the long tradition of Japanese tea-making, we feel it is our duty to create the future of green tea. We believe in the appeal and possibilities of our product, and we want to provide the world with a new kind of tea. Ujitawara In 1738, Sencha, which has now become the standard green tea for many people in Japan, was created in a small town on the other side of a mountain from Kyoto. At that time, the new, clear green tea was considered innovative, a break from conventional teas. This never-before seen tea was developed by Soen Nagatani, through countless experiments and trial and error. Nagatani went on to share his new technique, known as the Uji method, with the rest of the country. Now, centuries later, Ujitawara continues on that path first started by Soen Nagatani and produces some of the highest quality tea in Japan. Our Concept Our concept is simple: to enjoy tea. Tea is not just for quenching your thirst, but it is a drink that should be relished. Tea is a lifestyle, a philosophy, to be enjoyed on multiple levels. The Life with tea The first cup in the morning, during a break at work, while relaxing on your day off, spending time with friends and family. Tea provides the drinker with the space to breath, a chance to relax and live in the moment. “A life of refinement.” This is the message we want to convey to all of our customers with every tea we make. About our tea Depending on the type of plant or the place it was grown the aroma and flavor of tea can vary wildly. Despite these variations, at Hokuzan we never compromise on quality. We taste each and every tea numerous times, until we find the ones that are up to our standards. From those teas we present our line-up. Out of all these distinctive teas, we are sure there is one to suit every mood and palate.
