View Guide

The Tsuji Family

There may be no name more synonymous with Uji Matcha than Kiyoharu Tsuji. He is among the most decorated producers in all of Japan, with multiple first-place winning submissions to the national tea fair, and has become the most recognizable name outside of Japan. Our relationship with Tsuji-San is a storied one, as he was the first producer to represent Uji in our catalog, and Kettl was the first partner to bring his teas to the international stage.

In the intervening years, Kiyoharu Tsuji's production has expanded beyond just pinnacle grade, single cultivar matcha offerings to include blended matcha and houjicha. Koki Tsuji, Kiyoharu's son, has joined his practice and taken the lead on one of Kettl's core offerings—Shirakawa Legacy. We are honored to work with one of the pioneers of modern matcha and the next generation of emerging voices.

An unwavering commitment to quality.
