*''Japanese'': 御茶壷道中 ''(ocha tsubo dôchû)''
''Ocha tsubo dôchû'' refers to the dispatching of each year's new batch of [[tea]] from [[Uji]] (near Kyoto) to [[Edo]] in the 4th or 5th month each year during the [[Edo period]].
As the tea-carriers passed through each [[shukuba|post-station]] along the [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]] and the [[Mino Road]], local authorities and inn proprietors cleaned the roads and otherwise prepared for them as they would elite shogunate officials, ''[[daimyo|daimyô]]''. The post-stations were also obliged to provide porters and [[denma|post-horses]].
