Marukyu-Koyamaen
During the Genroku era (1688–1704), a man named Kyujiro Koyama began cultivating and producing tea in Ogura, Uji. His work laid the foundation for what has evolved into Marukyu-Koyamaen. Over subsequent generations, the quality of the tea improved through advancements in every stage, from cultivation to production, leading to the establishment of the renowned Uji tea tradition. The fourth generation expanded the business to include tea trading, and by the eighth generation, it had spread across the country. This tea became highly esteemed. In Japan, Marukyu-Koyamaen is widely recognized for upholding the highest quality standards.
For generations, the teas have been meticulously examined and crafted by experienced directors. Through repeated training and refinement of skills and techniques, the knowledge of how to produce and preserve the finest teas continues to improve. Marukyu-Koyamaen is regarded as one of Japan's premier producers of outstanding teas. Annually, competitions are held to evaluate teas from various producers. Over many years, Marukyu-Koyamaen has consistently won numerous first-place and other prestigious awards. The current director, Motoharu Koyama, has won the National Tea Appraisal Championships twice, achieving a perfect score on his second victory. This accomplishment is highly regarded and marked the first time in the competition's history that such a feat was achieved.
