From the heart of tea culture straight to the hearts of our customers

We take pride in the fact that our matcha is carefully produced in the very heart of Japan's tea culture – Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, at the Yanoen plantation. Traditionally, the best teas, especially matcha, with high auction value on the Japanese domestic market, are considered to be from Kyoto Prefecture, particularly brands from Uji.

Why Uji?
The high quality of production and the popularity of this province are determined by the climatic features of the region. The purest water and mineral-rich soil are the keys to growing the world's best tea.

Centuries-old history

The history of the Yanoen tea house dates back to 1836, with family secrets of the perfect tea passed down from generation to generation. In September 2022, our company was awarded a certificate of official representation of the Yanoen tea house in Kazakhstan and Russia. That means we are the only ones who can bring Yanoen tea house products to these markets. Being a part of this centuries-old history is an honour and a pride for Matcha Forest brand.

The Yanoen tea house has been awarded numerous awards and prizes by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries of Japan at annual national tea exhibitions.
