Uejima Sourokuen is a family-run tea garden in Wazuka-cho, Kyoto Prefecture—one of the primary growing regions for Uji tea. Wazuka is responsible for nearly half of the leaf material used in Uji tea production, a tradition that dates back to the 13th century. The farm has been in continuous operation since 1835, stewarded by generations of the Uejima family. Every tea they produce is grown, harvested, and crafted in their garden with care and precision—an expression of place, heritage, and craftsmanship.
