Philosophy

In cultivation, Kenchaen values simplicity and balance. Rather than relying on unnecessary additives, they focus on drawing out the natural strength of the tea plant through circular, regenerative farming practices. The result is tea that is not only delicious but also kind to the earth, the tea trees, and the people who enjoy it.

Sourced in Uji

Located just south of Kyoto, Uji is one of the most historic and prestigious tea-growing regions in Japan. With its gentle mist, pure river waters, and fertile soil, Uji has provided the perfect environment for cultivating high-quality tea for centuries. Since the 13th century, Uji has been at the center of Japanese tea culture, deeply connected with Zen temples, tea ceremonies, and the development of refined tea-making techniques.
