<Mission>
With the Ujicha growers as core members, UJICHA BRANDING ASSOCIATION was established to create a new business development network by those who have common objectives to enhance competitiveness of the Ujicha industry and to empower the Ujicha brand itself.

With regard to the “climate change impact assessments on the Ujicha farming,” various activities were explored by a non-profit-organization, Global Futures Kyoto, who have been working to contribute to revitalize the local assets. Embracing these GFK’s philosophies and missions, the following organizations decided to form a new organization, UJICHA BRANDING ASSOCIATION:
  • Chamber Of Kyoto Prefecture Tea Public Interest Incorporated Association
  • Kyoto Tea Cooperative
  • Kyoto Green Tea Growers Assosiations
  • Kyoto Prefectural Agriculture,Forestry and Fisheries Technology Center Agriculture and Forestry Technology Department Tea Industry Research Division

  • Japan Agricultural Cooperative-Kyoto
  • Non-Profit-Organization Global Futures Kyoto
