The City of Uji, the namesake of this wonderfully light Hojicha is one of Japan's most ancient places. The city is home to the Byodoin, recognized by UNESCO as the worlds oldest structure. It was built in 1053 and amazingly still stands. The region has been home to tea gardens and tea pluckers for centuries and is to this day recognized as one of Japan's foremost green tea growing regions. Tagami Kikusha, a Japanese poet living during those ancient times wrote about life in the area while living an another of Uji's famous buildings, the Manpuku Temple. In Japanese, his poem, A Tea Pickers Song, captures the warm feelings of joy felt by the pickers as they worked in the tea gardens.
