The business began as a shop named Omiya, established by Rihei Watanabe near the Kyoto Imperial Palace, selling tea and ceramics. In 1846, Prince Yamashina bestowed the name \u003cem\u003eIppodo\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning \"preserve one\", expressing his wish that the company continue providing high quality tea. Today, Ippodo remains family owned and is operated by the sixth and seventh generations of the Watanabe family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIppodo produces teas using leaves grown primarily in Kyoto, Nara and Shiga Prefectures, working closely with experienced tea growers throughout the region. According to the company, the evaluation of tea leaves and the blending process are the most important stages of its work. Rather than producing teas defined by a single harvest or growing area, Ippodo blends carefully selected lots to achieve the intended flavour, aroma and balance of each tea.
