🍵 About Maiko Tea

Maiko Tea — meaning “apprentice geisha” — is a Kyoto-based tea company located in Kyotanabe, near Uji, one of Japan’s most renowned matcha-growing regions. Established in 1950, Maiko Tea blends tradition with accessibility, offering a wide range of Uji-grown matcha, gyokuro, and sencha to suit both casual drinkers and tea connoisseurs.

Their matcha line — including well-loved blends like Kotobuki, Koetsu, and Maimukashi — is known for its balanced umami, fresh aroma, and versatility. Whether whisked for a traditional usucha or blended into a creamy latte, Maiko matcha consistently delivers gentle depth and a sense of calm, making it a favorite for both everyday enjoyment and quiet tea moments.

Rooted in Uji’s tea culture but with an open, modern approach, Maiko Tea welcomes you to experience the beauty of Japanese green tea — one cup at a time.
