Hōkōen is a long-established tea producer based in Jōyō City, Kyoto Prefecture, with a history spanning more than 160 years. The company uses carefully selected tea leaves grown in some of Japan’s finest tea fields, including the renowned farms of Jōyō. Nurtured by the rich soil of the Kizu River, each leaf is crafted with care and the greatest expertise.

What makes Hōkōen exceptional today is its hands-on care at every stage of production—from growing and harvesting to blending and finishing—keeping the essence of Uji tea alive. By overseeing every step, they create the rich, distinctive flavor that defines Hōkōen quality and tradition.

Hōkōen's commitment is simple: to deliver a consistently high quality green tea.

Myouju is a robust, full-bodied, velvety tea with deep tones. It offers a long, slightly creamy finish with mellow bitter notes. It’s a great choice for those who love the rich flavors of characteristic usucha teas. It is important to brew this tea with water of at least 80 degrees Celsius, as it can easily turn bitter upon cooling. It is a more full-bodied, sweeter tea compared to the Koushu, next in line.
