Founded in 1931, this is the best-selling product of Uogashi Meicha, which has stores in Tsukiji, Toyosu, and Ginza. You can enjoy the tea of ​​the food professional purveyor who gathers at the market at home. Many well-known restaurants support the convenience of adding boiling water to Rambo and enjoying the delicious taste. The appearance of the tea is different from regular tea, which has a regular shape. Although it has a somewhat rough shape, it is a testament to the emphasis on flavor that emphasizes the sweetness and umami of the stems. Everyone says that once you drink it, you will become addicted to the sweet and fragrant aroma that has been finished at the highest possible heat.

Continuing to deliver real tea

Uogashi Meicha was founded in 1931 by Tadashi Tsuchiya, the president of the company two generations ago. The tea of ​​Uogashi Meicha was born from the encounter between Tadashi and Mr. Heizaburo Yamamoto. Mr. Heisaburo is the creator of the deep-steamed tea method that is now commonplace. After the war, while traveling around Shizuoka in search of tea, Tadashi met Mr. Heisaburo and was impressed by the tea he made, and started selling deep-steamed tea. Tadashi and Mr. Heisaburo worked together to create deep-steamed tea, which was not yet perfect at the time, and sold it to the world at Tsukiji in Tokyo. When deep-steamed tea started to sell well, deep-steamed tea, which was just powdery and green, began to appear on the market. However, the original color of tea is yellow-gold.

As the originator of deep-steamed tea, Uogashi Meicha will continue to deliver authentic yellow-golden tea that has been slowly steamed to the core and thoroughly heated.

Tea making at Uogashi Meicha

We place more importance on creating addictive and unique teas than on making teas that appeal to everyone. If you try to suit everyone, you will end up with a nondescript tea. Even if it tastes good after one sip, it doesn't make you want to have another sip. If you prepare tea that makes the most of the individuality of the tea leaves, knowing that there will be people who do not agree with you, 10 to 20% of the people will become core fans.

All of our commitment to making tea ends there. I have my own tea plantation. Hold study sessions with farmers. We blend tea leaves in-house. Only sold at directly managed stores. All of them are for making unique tea.

The light blue color of yellow and gold is proof of the quality of the tea leaves.

When you brew the tea sold by Uogashi Meicha, the color of the water looks yellow or gold. It may seem strange from the image of the word "green tea", but in fact, the original color of water in Japanese tea is this color.

The light blue color of tea is obtained by crushing the tea leaves and turning them into powder. Deep-steamed tea, in particular, if thin and weak tea leaves are used, the leaves will crumble and turn dark green.

In other words, yellow or golden light blue tea is proof that you are using good quality tea leaves. When it comes to tea leaves that cost tens of thousands of yen per 100g, they are almost colorless and transparent. You might think that if the color is light, the flavor and aroma are also light, but that is not the case. While the umami and aroma can be felt firmly, there is no harsh taste or persistent sweetness, and the tea is irresistible to the stomach. Please try it once.
