A Tapestry of Taste and Tradition, The Okura Prestige Bangkok Unveils the Exclusive "Kik? Matcha Afternoon Tea Collection" In Celebration of its 13th Anniversary

Located in the southern part of Kyoto Prefecture, Wazuka is known as the 'hidden village of tea life' and produces approximately half of the renowned Uji-cha tea leaves grown in the region. For over 800 years, the people of Wazuka have lived harmoniously with nature, cultivating exceptional tea leaves with distinct flavours and fragrances nurtured by local tea cultivation masters. The phenomenal tea field scenes, a testament to a lifestyle passed down through generations since the Kamakura period (1185 - 1333), were recoginsed as the first Kyoto Scenic Asset and are part of the most beautiful villages in Japan. In 2015, Wazuka was further registered as a Japan Heritage site, "Japanese Tea: Eight Centuries of Tradition."

The unique landscape and natural environment of Wazuka, characterised by significant temperature differences and the fog created by the Wazuka River, are ideal for tea production, resulting in world-class Wazuka tea. The Wazuka tea is celebrated for its diverse varieties and the dedication of nearly 300 tea farms producing unique, single-origin teas.

In a harmonious blend of profound Japanese tradition and sophisticated English elegance, the "Kik? Matcha Afternoon Tea Collection" has been meticulously crafted to offer a tranquil yet profoundly celebratory escape.
