<From the Farmer>

As the name suggests, it is an Uji breed born and raised in Uji. Wavy leaves are characteristic of Ujihikari. Like the cultivar Asahi, the period suitable for tea picking is short and the yield is low. In addition, the leaves come out at small intervals, so it is difficult to pick, and the actual picking can be a little troublesome. However, as growers of Uji Tea, this is a variety that we would like to nurture carefully.
