The Choya Ujicha Umeshu is umeshu that that combines the traditional Japanese beverage "tea" and the traditional liqueur "umeshu". The ingredients are carefully selected Uji tea leaves from Kyoto with a fresh aroma and umeshu with an elegant flavor.

The city of Uji, located between the two ancient capitals of Kyoto and Nara, is blessed with the quality of soil and surroundings needed for growing green tea plant. Tea cultivation in Uji can be traced back to the early 11th century, and this tradition has been kept in the utmost standing until today.

Although the tradition of tea cultivation in Japan originated at Kozanji Temple in Kyoto, it was tea from Uji that has come to be renowned for its superior quality. Eisai—a Japanese Buddhist priest who imported both Zen Buddhism and green tea to Japan from China around 700 A.D.—in fact advised the priests in Uji on how to cultivate and produce the beverage.
