Matcha green tea is one of the most popular forms of green tea produced in Japan and has taken the world by storm and one of the places that is said to produce the finest is Uji in Kyoto. Wazuka village produces more than 50 percent of Uji green tea. Wazuka is around two hours from Kyoto and the village has been designated as one of the most beautiful villages in Japan thanks to their rural landscape of rice paddies and tea fields spreading all over the valleys and hills.
