Nagatani Tea Factory

1 6

Tea Farm (Partner: Yuta Nagatani, 7th-Generation Farmer)

With roots stretching back over 120 years in Ujitawara’s Obukudani mountains—the birthplace of Uji tea—our family’s five fields and on-site mill produce organic, pesticide-free teas certified JAS since 2006. Yuta Nagatani carries on this legacy, using our own steam-intense process to coax out a deep green hue, silky throat-feel, and elegant sweetness in every cup.


Growing up, I’d help my father and grandfather in the fields and factory. I chose to follow in their footsteps because I love tea—the way it smells as it brews in a kyusu, the calm pause those minutes bring. Today, I fine-tune each harvest and refining step to highlight our terroir’s wild-herb aromas and the rare Ujimidori cultivar’s unique character. As more enthusiasts discover us on Instagram, I’m excited to share our centuries-old craft and keep these gardens thriving.
