The Kanbayashi Shunsho family "上林春松本店", Uji tea masters for over 450 years, began with Kamon no Jo Hisashige, a leading tea master of his time. 
In the Meiji era, the 11th-generation Shunsho expanded into gyokuro and sencha, earning a reputation for refined teas.

Today, as the sole surviving lineage of Uji tea masters, the family continues to craft exceptional teas, preserving a tradition and spirit that has endured for centuries.
