This is our highest grade of Matcha offered by Shogun Matcha. Uji is ceremonial-grade and is intended to be used only for special occasions and for important ceremonies. Due to the way it is cultivated and prepared, the supply of Uji Grade is very limited. Many people who have regular mediation practices or do daily yoga also like using Uji Matcha as part of their wellness regimen. This is because Matcha is believed to help calm the mind while relaxing the body, ensuring that those who mediate can easily go into a deeper state and can focus more intensely. Shogun Matcha is a high quality matcha grown in Taiwan on tea plantations located in high altitude mountains. These plantations are situated from 500 meters to 800 meters above sea level, and the tea produced is smoother, richer, and more fragrant than tea produced at lower altitudes. These advantages include abundant sunlight and sufficient rainfall that promote healthy growing, rich soil, and an extreme temperature difference between night and day that naturally prevent insects and pests. In addition, Taiwan is strict about enforcing pesticide-free regulations - in fact, the allowable pesticide levels in food grown in the country are just 1/10 of those in Japan. This ensures that Shogun Matcha tea is genuinely organic and grown without harmful chemicals.
