Yamashiro Bussan was founded in 1960. Since then, the company has been producing high-quality tea at its factory in Wazuka Town, Kyoto Prefecture, a famous producer of Uji tea in the Yamashiro region, known as the "hometown of Japanese tea." As a newcomer to the long-established tea industry, founder Shigeyuki Tsuji continued to challenge the conventional wisdom of the industry with his innovative ideas and plans.
Yamashiro Bussan was also the first tea manufacturer to use polyethylene plastic packaging in the tea industry, which had previously used paper packaging. This was done to lock in the fresh aroma, maintain quality, and improve hygiene.
Yamashiro Bussan values above all else the ease with which people can enjoy high-quality tea at home. And to create relaxing, comfortable moments. Even in today's world where lifestyles are constantly changing, we will continue to convey new ways to enjoy tea that are in tune with the times.
