Created in collaboration with tea-grower and blender Horii-Shichimeien, founded in the Meiji era in 1879 and based in the famous Uji region to the south of Kyoto city. A number of super-premium Uji teas have been specially selected to form the heart of Ki No Tea. Tencha and gyokuro provide intense aromas and depth of flavor with a wonderful sweetness that occurs naturally in the distillation of these superior teas.
