Cultivation Tsuyuhikari is one of the most valuable varieties of tea in Japan, which has a light green color and a pleasant aroma. This type of tea was invented in 1950 in Kinki Province, Japan, by combining genetic material from different types of tea.
Tsuyuhikari is grown at an altitude of about 300-500 meters above sea level, mainly in the Kyoto region. This tea is grown on special plantations where shade nets are used to reduce the amount of direct sunlight falling on the tea leaves. This allows you to get tea with a richer green color and a richer taste.
Tsuyuhikari is also known for its high content of amino acids and catechins, which are responsible for its characteristic taste and aroma. These substances have antioxidant properties and contribute to improving health.
Uzagali, Tsuyuhikari is a refined and elegant type of tea that is highly valued in Japan and other countries. It has a fresh, rich taste and aroma, which makes it a great choice for enjoying tea at any time of the day.

History of cultivation
History of cultivation
Tsuyuhikari tea was invented and developed in Japan in the 1950s based on the crossing of two varieties of tea - Yabukita and Shizuoka 7. Its origin story is related to the gradual increase in requirements for the quality of tea and changes in its demand.
After World War II, a major reform in the tea industry took place in Japan, involving increased production and improved tea quality. In this connection, research began to be conducted with the aim of creating new varieties of tea that would meet market requirements.
It was then that the National Tea Institute of Japan began work on the creation of new varieties of tea, among which was Tsuyuhikari. It was invented in Kinki Province in western Japan and has been tested in various regions of the country. This variety turned out to be very successful and quickly began to be grown in many regions of Japan.
The main advantages of Tsuyuhikari are its taste and aroma, as well as its high content of catechins and amino acids, which give it beneficial health properties. This tea has a richer green color than most other varieties of Japanese tea, and its leaves tolerate a long brewing time, allowing you to enjoy its taste and aroma over several brewings.
