About the Farmers:
The inspiration behind the name of this matcha comes from a road that winds alongside the mystical waters of the Uji River. That road leads to one of Japan's most celebrate tea regions, Uji, and to the Horii family, the farmers behind this matcha. The Horii family is led by Horii Chōjirō, the third generation owner. Chōjirō-san is serious yet deeply warm and kind. Each of our visit to his shop and farm come with multiple cups of tea and many laughs.
