Why Choose Kyoto Ujitawara Tea House Koimaro Tea?

Authentic Uji-Grown Tea from the Heart of Kyoto

Ujitawara is one of the oldest tea-producing towns in Japan, often considered the birthplace of Uji tea. The region’s unique terroir—rich soil, rolling fog, and clean water—results in leaves of exceptional quality. Koimaro Tea is sourced exclusively from this region, capturing centuries of craftsmanship in every leaf.

Handcrafted by Local Tea Masters

Each batch of Koimaro Tea is delicately hand-processed by seasoned artisans who follow age-old methods. The leaves are steamed, rolled, and dried with precision to retain their natural oils and flavors. It’s a slow, labor-intensive process—but the result is a tea that’s pure, vibrant, and soulful.

Fresh, Loose-Leaf Format for a Richer Brew

Unlike dust-filled tea bags, this 100g package contains whole loose leaves, which unfurl beautifully in hot water to release deeper aromas and layered taste. With Koimaro, you get a fuller, more complex brew that transforms everyday tea-drinking into an indulgent experience.

Signature Flavor Profile

Elegant Umami with Sweet Depth

The hallmark of high-grade Uji tea is its refined umami taste—and Koimaro Tea delivers just that. With a natural sweetness that gently unfolds on your palate, it offers a calming and slightly savory richness that lingers long after the last sip.

Clean Grassy Aroma with a Gentle Finish

The aroma is fresh and mildly vegetal, a nod to the lush fields where the tea is grown. The finish is smooth, clean, and low in astringency, making it ideal for both seasoned tea drinkers and newcomers looking for a mild yet flavorful introduction to Japanese green tea.

How to Brew Koimaro Tea for the Perfect Cup

Brewing Instructions (Per Serving)

• Tea Amount: 2 grams (1 teaspoon)

• Water Temperature: 70–80°C (158–176°F)

• Steeping Time: 60–90 seconds

• Water Volume: 120ml (4 oz)

Use a kyusu (Japanese teapot) or any small teapot to fully extract the leaves' flavor. For a second and third infusion, slightly increase steeping time while reducing water temperature for a more delicate flavor.

Tips for the Best Experience

• Use Soft Water: Filtered or mineral-balanced water enhances the tea’s taste and aroma.

• Avoid Boiling Water: Overheating will damage the delicate amino acids responsible for Koimaro's umami flavor.

• Serve in Small Sips: Let each sip linger for a more meditative, mindful experience.

Packed with Health Benefits

Rich in Catechins and Antioxidants

Koimaro Tea is a great source of catechins—potent antioxidants known to fight inflammation and support heart health. A daily cup can contribute to better immunity, circulation, and cellular protection.

Natural L-Theanine for Calm Focus

Thanks to high levels of L-theanine, Koimaro helps promote mental clarity and calm alertness without the jitteriness of coffee. Ideal for workdays, study sessions, or relaxing afternoons.

Low Caffeine, Big Comfort

While it contains a touch of caffeine for light stimulation, the effect is balanced by L-theanine, creating a gentle boost that refreshes without overstimulating. Perfect for morning or early evening enjoyment.

Eco-Friendly Cultivation Practices

The farmers behind Koimaro Tea use traditional farming methods that respect nature’s rhythm. No synthetic chemicals or artificial fertilizers—just clean soil, pure water, and responsible care for each tea plant.
