Maruyasu Chagyō (丸安茶業)

Founded in 1872 by Maeno Yasukichi, Maruyasu Chagyō has been producing teas from around Shiga Prefecture, including their own tea from their hometown of Tsuchiyama, as well as from the famous growing region of Asamiya. While teas from these regions are often blended and sold as "Ujicha", Maruyasu celebrates the often overlooked teas of Shiga Prefecture.

Maruyasu Chagyō is currently headed by Maeno Yasuharu (前野安治) a 9th-dan Chashi, which is the second-highest rank and is only attained by a handful of tea professionals. This credential recognises Maeno-san's deep understanding of the region's soil, farming practices, and cultivars, as well as his mastery of tea evaluation and blending.
