🍵 About Nakamura Tokichi

Founded in 1854 in Uji, Kyoto, Nakamura Tokichi is one of Japan’s most iconic tea houses — a name synonymous with refined matcha, deep-rooted tradition, and contemporary tea culture. With over 160 years of heritage, the brand is known not only for its high-quality Uji-grown matcha, but also for its innovative tea cafés, elegant packaging, and seasonal wagashi (Japanese sweets).

Nakamura Tokichi’s matcha blends — such as Seikan, Senun, and Ukishima — are crafted with care, offering balanced umami, gentle sweetness, and a smooth finish that appeals to both everyday drinkers and tea connoisseurs. Their teas reflect the harmony between old and new: grounded in centuries-old craftsmanship, yet open to modern interpretation.

Whether sipped quietly at home or enjoyed as part of a signature parfait in Kyoto, Nakamura Tokichi invites you to experience Japanese tea as something both timeless and beautifully present.
