Yamamotoyama U.S.A.
GYOKURO PYRAMID GREEN TEA BAG
Yamamotoyama is the oldest tea company. In 1690, the Yamamoto family moved from Kyoto to the new capital of Tokyo and established a tea shop. Yamamotoyama remains family owned and operated, drawing from its rich heritage and vast expertise to provide healthy and deliciously innovative foods.
Before Yamamotoyama, only the wealthy had access to green tea in Japan. Kahei Yamamoto dreamed to make green tea accessible to all, and he learned that steaming tea leaves enabled them to remain fresh and green in color with a balanced sweet umami that retains its vitamins and nutrients. This tea, called sencha, became a sensation, and Yamamotoyama became a household name.
Yamamotoyama’s culture of innovation continued with Kahei Yamamoto VI and the invention of gyokuro, the pinnacle of green tea, in 1835.
