Authentic Tea House Ayataka Japanese Green Tea

Ayataka is an authentic, premium tea that delivers a cloudy hue and a well-rounded flavor that lingers on the tongue, just as Japanese green tea brewed in a pot should. The name is derived from the name of the high-quality green tea first sold in the Meiji Era by Kanbayashi Shunsho Honten, a long-standing tea merchant with a history of over 450 years, that supplied tea leaves to the shogunate family from Uji, Kyoto. The character "taka" ("hawk" in Japanese) has long been used to symbolize precious tea leaves, and the character "aya" ("weaving" in Japanese) expresses how the precious and high-quality tea leaves are "woven" into the Ayataka brand, embodying the dedication to flavor in producing this premium tea.
