Ozawa Seifūen (小澤清風園)

Ozawa Seisuke (小澤成介) is an Urasenke Associate Professor and a Nihoncha Instructor, and combines his experience, knowledge and passion in both the cultural and agricultural spheres of the Japanese tea world to spread information and joy, teaching all who come to his shop about the best way to brew and prepare a variety of teas.

Ozawa Seifūen (小澤清風園) was founded over 140 years ago in 1872 across from Tōji Temple in Kyōto. The original founder learned that in the 15th century, matcha used to be sold on the street in front of the temple in a practice known as ippuku-issen (一服一銭 - one cup for one coin), and wanting to cherish this connection between tea and Tōji Temple, founded his tea shop across the street. They work closely with farmers in Uji, Kyōto to produce a variety of teas, including exquisitely blended matchas.
